Patent Application to be submitted perhaps actually submit this and see if it goes through.. the actual patent to be (not the makeing of the patent) Step 1 think of something trivial to patent Step 2 get patent for trivial Idea Step 3 ??? Step 4 Profit!

my first scanner was a scsi umax that i used with my performa 575 or starmax 4000. That scanner still works I think, its in storage with the starmax. When i got a g4 I was dissapointed to find out scsi wasn't included, and a scsi card cost about the same as a usb scanner. After a couple years of use the usb umax scanner had a section of it fail and would produce colored strips (mostly yellow) down a scan. Sold it on e-bay to someone who knows how to fix the problem or doesn't mind the stripes. Then i got a nother one worked fine, then after a few years it got the same problem. Now I have an HP all in 1 with a sheet feeder and memory card slots
