The simple pleasures of the obsolete technologies
,----[ Quote ]
| Scanning with Xsane was faster than scanning in Windows. I don’t know why.
| Small operations on the resulting images were accomplished faster in gThumb
| than in GIMP. OpenOffice.org 2.3 worked very well, despite being “obsolete”.
| And it even generated a surprisingly small PDF from the final 100 MB
| document. Amazing. And fast. Nothing crashed. At all.
