Good news for Bible software freaks

I'm a big fan of Logos Bible Software, and this is a great bit of news! They have obtained a book scanner, capable of converting 1200 pages per hour into digital images, without damage even fragile rare books. The image files can then be run the OCR (optical character recognition) software to convert the books into searchable text. With this new machine, Logos expects to be able to make thousands of public domain works available as digital books. Very cool! *drool*
