Simple and small form factor with only two buttons, "Scan" and "PDF", the latter scanning your doc directly to a PDF. Nice and simple. Pretty happy with software and hardware although it does require a reboot on my Mac to install. Yuck! http://www.neatreceipts.com/products/neat-receipts-for-mac Andy,

I have been digitally storing docs for about 2 years now. I have found that I still need a filing / storage schema so that I can track stuff down. Having docs available wherever I am and checked in to SVN is fantastic though. (I would also recommend combining this with a fax to email service for incoming faxes to cut out the whole scanning step. You can even fax documents to yourself and let that service deal with it...)
