I know that the LUG is full of bleeding edgers. Has anyone converted over to all electronic banking/finaces? do you receive all your statements through email? What are the pros? cons?
thanks

Bank of America does PDFs for monthly statements. It is alright I guess nothing to really shout about.
When reading the title I was thinking more along the lines of scanning receipts and other documents. Then burning or shredding the real copies or put them in a safety deposit box. But I have been thinking about getting a scanner for documents I can't get digital copies.
.pdf's! So THAT'S why they are so damn expensive. ;-)

Haha, it isn't the PDFs that add cost, it is the program that generates them. =)
Not sure that was funny, but I tried.

The current "shrinkwrap appliance operator" best of breed is this:
It earns that niche mostly due to near seamless integration with a software bundle. Sadly however-the bundle is all Windows, and closed source to my current information. That last part about the software bundle- Scanners above or bleow certain price points are "you get what you pay for" and then better or worse in nonlinear progression both directions bad to good. A sub-$200 scanner Vs a Canon "integrated document unit for $5500 both at the end of the day still turn paper into digital captures.
The MAJOR differences being in time,sanity and total cost of ownership/operation..
When you consider the bottom line as total costs to own and operate-then you can compare hardware and software merits. I admit bias towards the extremes having lived with both. And in due disclosure- "paperless" should more aptly be dubbed as "paper lessening"
Later today I will explain what I have worked with that did and not work-and why.
But look in the meantime at the Neat receipts package for a "what the mundanes use" item.. And at the upper end- Canon's CD-4070NW
Microfilm enhanced models start at 15K...
