On the plus side, I now have nearly two gigabytes of high res platten dust

Note to self: ask manager if we can get a clean room. At this resolution it's impossible for it to be completely clean, no matter how much you clean it

@foone How many DPI does such a scanner have?

foone, 1 month ago

@1000millimeter great question. Somewhere between "a bunch!" and "lots!"

(it's actually a mechanized camera with a huge lens taking multiple pictures, not a scanner)

Although the current scanning room is inside a former church, so I think my scanning surface is at least safe from vampires and Highlanders.

@A_C_McGregor that's the nice thing about microfiche: it's invulnerable to EMP.

I think the Highlanders just can't fight there, but they might be able to provide clarification if they were around for whatever events might be referenced in your scanning.

@kalloway I mean, right now I'm scanning stuff from the 70s. So you don't need to be a highlander to remember shit that happened then, just like 70
