Re: "Green Jobs"
I have seen a volcano and I have seen 100 square miles of clear-cut forest. Their impact was essentially the same. The difference was that it took the earth millions of years to make that volcano and it took 2,000 men just 3 years to cut that 100 square miles. If you really believe we can't have any effect on the environment, why do you pay for trash services? Why not just dump it at the edge or your property and let the earth's natural healing power sweep it away?

Re: What is the future for DigiDoc Flow, eCopy and NSI?

Current eBridge X Operating Systems allows you to navigate a network to find a specific "nested" folder but that can take a few minutes to complete.

Re: What is the future for DigiDoc Flow, eCopy and NSI?
Toshiba seems to be taking the position of developing customized processors that are optimized for MFPs. The benefit is much smaller size, faster processing (measured by quicker FCOT) and lower power consumption. Many manufacturers use "off the shelf" PC processors due to lower cost and less complicated to develop. Xerox commonly convinces buyers to include the spec, "must have a minimum of a 1.2 Ghz processor" for their Black only copiers as a "knock-out" feature. The MFP industry will...
