Saturday morning here in Jersey. Looks like it's going to be a nice day while the we are still in lock down. I'm seeing more cars than every on the highway leading to Sandy Hook, thus the order of stay home is not being heeded by the regular people of NJ. Which is a good thing because people need to be living their lives as they want and not by what the government mandates.
Enjoy our marvelous threads from five years ago this week!

During a demo it is very impressive to the customer to show them how they can see their documents scroll across the user interface when you press the preview icon. You also can delete pages, move pages, turn pages right side up with your finger. This can all be done before you copy, scan or fax.
