Tooks for Readers 3: Update

If nothing else, the last post illustrates the rocket speed with which technological time moves; much of the software I mentioned in the original publication (of 2003) has been thoroughly updated or made obsolete. The best features of Photoshop Album, for instance, have been ported over to the new Photoshop CS and Elements iterations for both Mac and Windows. And I don't think I'd recommend a ScanSoft program without extensive field-testing after the disaster that was PaperPort 10, which did some awful things to the awful Windows register. (One more reason to prefer Macs, always.)

Hoover Dam is still there, though, if locked in a weird security cordon in this weird police-state age. For all the hassle of getting there, it's still worth a look.
