whatever the TLA was, and so on that I don't yet have a clue about.

Recent discussions have suggested:

- Scanning book bar codes to update databases
- Also apply to CDs, DVDs, etc
- Food logging

for instance, I think it's a great plan/toy, and I'm up for one if we=20
can amass the numbers.

I'm sure other uses will come to mind later on.
