In 1993 I worked on a project for a &quot;superfax&quot; system for the NCSU library. It was basically a scanner hooked up to a Mac that would send the resulting tiff files over FTP. It was a great learning experience (well... scsi scanners can blow me, tiff is nuts, the ftp protocol is way over-complicated, but I was doing real internet socket programming in 1993, for money!). It was certainly a one-click scan-and-send solution. Maybe we can get this fucker overturned. (If the email angle isn&apos;t essential, which now that I think about it, it probably is.)</text></comment>
