In an effort to intentionally misunderstand the task, I'm going to discuss reproducing documents. The easiest way to do this is, of course, with a xerox machine. But sometimes they break, and they often cost 15 cents a page. So if you have an eighty page paperback, that can get a little over budget.

A scanner is also a useful tool, but unfortunately, my own poor scanner is incompatable with Windows Vista (something we did not know when we purchased the computer I now use). So scanning is right out.

Which means that when it comes down to it, retyping an eighty page document may in fact end up being the fastest way to reproduce it. Given I have a freelance assignment coming up that's pretty much what I've just described, I'm prepping my fingers for a work ouit.
