Default Photocopy machine

That sounds gosh awful expensive to put that much memory and
drive into copiers. After all, there is price competition.

Of course they do. A typical B/W copier image might only
be 40-50kb,
that is 100 gig for 2 million pictures. I do agree they
probably don't
store that many and that work area does get rewritten but
that just
means the data miner is only getting the most recent
thousand images
or so. That could still be troubling if a significant
number were
customer records and internal business documents.


What's fascinating it that nobody knows they have hard
drives.They all
assume they all had ram memory as in the past that goes away
when
powered down. I'm sure if they knew, the IS departments
would have wiped
the drives. Instead, thousands or millions of used copiers
are sitting
in warehouses that resell them world wide. You would think
that would
trigger a homeland security alert and a freeze on them. I
ain't heard
diddly squat about it.
