Thank you all for your comments!

Charlotte, I had read about Topaz tablets yesterday, so I know what we're
referring to.  But there's no way I'm going to get budget approval for
those, as my company just went on a serious no-extraneous-expenditure
diet.  And the same would apply to getting small scanners to hook up at the
supervisor's workstation.

Jeff - can you please tell me a bit more about the ASP/net add in you use?

And Gustav, I will tell my husband you approve of his methodology.  :) That
may be the route I have to take for now until the company starts spending
money again.

Janet
