Considering that FreeBSD apps run on OSX with very little 
modification, (cool site - http://ptf.com/tdc/  ) one would think 
they would not care if you just need a UNIX machine.  And of course, 
your TiBook would probably cause them LESS support headaches than the 
PC one. Ah well.

No, unfortunately. I think there is a commercial solution for PP on 
Windows, but nothing free. There are other frameworks that do that 
job, but powerplant is not one of them.

Adding a GUI to the scanner wasnt a huge amount of work, it just 
takes a while when one does it in their spare time, and is not a 
professional programmer. Perhaps i could learn one of the new 
OSX/Un*x/Windows frameworks (are there free ones?) by porting scribia 
to it.
