Scanning?

[Mike Maginnis <maginnis@tarnover.org>]

Don't know if this has been addressed before. I'm planning to re-scan
the Computist magazines that I've already done so far, and get moving
on finishing the rest sometime this decade.

Any thoughts on the best way to scan these?  I can't seem to get a
decent image down to less than ~200K.  Anything smaller and it image
incurs serious quality loss.  I suppose in a perfect world, I could
just OCR the issues to a text file; in the real world, that would
require a lot of editing and proofing.  Maybe a searchable PDF file?
