You should have realised by now that whenever you think that a technology 1) 
is impossible 2) doesn't exist or 3) isn't used by anyone, you're just being 
10-year late ;)

The interpolation mode is mostly there to inflate numbers, AFAIK.

As I said, a 4800*9600 scanner is rather cheap nowadays.
Actually I have to buy an all-in-one printer/scanner/copier for my dad and 
one of my concern is *** exactly *** that he'll somehow manage to scan huge 
images (book covers and newspaper articles) and start emailing them to other 
people. He already did that with a bunch of 7 megapixels pictures that were 
forwarded to him.
