CardScan Executive for Mac (iPhone for scale)

CardScan has come out with a Mac version of their CardScan Executive scanner and software, and it looks like a winner.

That light glows red when you first hook up the CardScan, then turns blue the first time you fire up the CardScan software. Read on to see how this all works.
