British Shipbuilders (remember them) wanted to scan documents into an 8100 in the early 1980s but abandoned that idea when I told them how much storage each scanned page would take and how long it would take to send a scanned page from one shipyard to another.
Funnily enough, by the end of the 1980s that was quite a practical possibility, just not on the same technology.
