A few years ago I aborted an attack on my vast bulk of infrequently-accessed paper (tax-related documents, various financial statements, newsletters, manuals, etc.) with my flatbed scanner. The HW & SW tools were tedious, and the resulting file sizes were huge. Last year a NetApp colleague happened to relate his success in a similar endeavor, so I decided to try again. The key was a terrific little Fujitsu S510 document scanner he recommended.
With stunningly-fast double-sized scans, auto-sizing and auto-color selection that actually 
works, direct conversion to searchable PDF files, plus an included full copy of Acrobat, this diminutive scanner made short work of my paper mountain. Several times the shredder overheated while attempting to keep pace! Nearly a year later I quickly scan & shred new documents. Combined with a consistent push for online billing and statement delivery, the paperless-reduced office is finally a reality in my home.
Of course, this has only added extra importance to protecting the digital copies. My track record in this regard is poor, but I have hope.
I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
