Not to flame you, but just a friendly comment for your consideration:
name-calling ("so anti-social they have never been able to hold a job",
"insulting appears to be their commodity") does nothing to enhance a
discussion. That is the same mistake many politicians make. Winning a debate
is usually accomplished by just sticking to the pertinent points.

Actually there are very good reasons for NOT networking a scanner - see my
original post. I have spent a significant number of years in an office
environment employing large numbers of desk top computers. We have found
that it is really not cost-effective to network them, and the scanner
manufacturers - for the most part - have recognized that fact and have
therefore not incorporated network capability into their designs.

Best regards.
