I went to my local "Environment Day". Among other things, folks can turn in "e-waste", electronic things that they no longer want. They just get destroyed and, with luck, some fractional part gets recycled. I hate seeing good things go to waste. So I intercepted a scanner and now have it. An HP Scanjet 6300C. It was large, so I thought that it would handle legal-sized paper. No luck, it is large but only handles A4 length and Letter width (and smaller). It is old and slow but does work with Linux (USB; I haven't tried its SCSI prot). Is anyone interested in having it? I could likely bring it to the next meeting. If not, I'm going to throw it back.

If someone is into building CNC machines they could always take it apart and get some parts out of it. -- Cheers!
