I save all kinds of paper-recipes, decorating pages, fabric, just any page I like, I rip out of the magazine. It looks like Neat Desk might help organize all my paper.

It is $400, but if it does what it says it will do, it might be worth it.

I have a Mac and it is available for Mac.
I haven't used Neat Desk but I use a Fujitsu Scansnap S1300 with Evernote and it works great. The scanner will produce searchable PDFs and I use that for all my bills and statements. They go right into Evernote and I can quickly find anything. The scanner takes in all the paper. But Evernote also grabs clippings and webpages from the Internet, photos of business cards from my phone, and emails and audio clips I send it. Evernote will even find words in images. Give it a look.

The Fujitsu S1300 is currently $260 on Amazon (http://goo.gl/H39Ha) but they recently announced a smaller less expensive model (1100, I think). A quick view of scanning to Evernote (http://goo.gl/P4Co) and a longer overview of going completely paperless (http://goo.gl/gaBaw).
