    That is cool. Very very cool.

    http://www.xamance.fr is the company that sells them. Although, I couldn’t find pricing on their site, or on their reseller’s sites.

    I want one too!

    This PDF, http://riao.free.fr/applications/Vertical%20sorting.pdf, suggests a buy price of about 1450 euros. It is indeed nice … but I question whether needing to keep all the paper in perpetuity is a good thing.

    … and anyway Rod, there isn’t a Mac client at the moment. M.

    Hey,

    Thanks for your post, here are some information about your inquiries:
    * We are currently beta testing the Mac version, which will presented to the public next month at the CeBIT in Hanover (Germany).
    * The public price is 1690€
    * So far, we have a bunch of resellers in France and Africa, no one yet in the US, but we are looking for some ;-)

    There’s already a English fact sheet http://xamance.fr/IMG/pdf/Retrouver_ses_papiers_instantannement_GB.pdf

    Thomas

    PS: he English version of the website should be online within a few days :-)

    That is going in the budget.

    Filing is my biggest headache and biggest weak point. This thing mirrors my current filing system of “a big box” but with a digital representation - genius.

    Ugly machine, silly name but damn I gotta get me one.
