I like to read old science fiction and check out the things the authors got wrong.

Obligatory Johnny Mnemonic:
This image obtained with a 1990s micro camera?
Nah, scanned with that Logitech Portable Scanner.
I’m assuming the Scan Man 32 for Mac resulted in Game Boy Camera quality images.
EasyTouch maxed out at 400 DPI and the 256 was 256 shades of grayscale.
It doesn’t say when the original ScanMan Color came out or how many colors it had but the Color 2000 didn’t come out until '96 and had a 24 million color pallette.
So, yeah, sounds about right for the ScanMan 32.
