So I’ve got this ever expanding box of business cards I’ve collected from people along the way. I’d like to merge these into my address book. Do I…

a) buy a card scanner? (problem is, i’ve never seen one that really works well – OCR ain’t perfect and there’s lots of “non-standard” business cards)

b) hire a temp for a few hours to enter them into a xls?

Although (b) can only be performed every few months I’m tempted to select it as the more effective input manner.

Man beats machine?
