The CardGrabber ($399) is a plug-and-play scanner of business cards that uses the parallel port of notebooks and desktop computers. From Pacific Crest Technologies (Newport Beach, CA), the DOS- and Windows-compatible CardGrabber scans a card and then stores the information in a Windows-based address book. You can use the address book to search, customize, sort, and print your information. You can import and export data to any Windows or DOS database and PIM, as well as ASCII text, word processors, Lotus-compatible spreadsheets, and PDAs. The 15-ounce device has built-in AI and OCR software.
