Again, not sure where to talk about scanning, but this seems to be the place. We just picked up the Hasseblad scanner line, and it's like meeting up with an old friend. I've been working with these things since around Y2K (remember Y2K?

Hasselblad has a little Flex demo video on their site, but it hasn't got any audio, so I snagged it and added a little explanation. If you're wondering exactly how the technology works, have a look at my post:
