I meant to throw in the disk for the night hours ago... but here's a scan and official report on

1. LISTEN TO ROSS. HE IS RIGHT.

2. The latest Canons are great (affordable, compact)but they don't like oldcomputers. We tried four Canons... 4 of them!! Just throwing this out in case anyone else has an "old" computer and "new" scanner plans.

3. I got the EPSON PERFECTION 1260 PHOTO SCANNER ($140 after rebate). Works fine - USB port - and doesn't object working with old computers. I have ALWAYS had problems with these shades of peach, rose, lilac, lime greens and crazy oranges. Contracts stinks (that's my fault) but these shades are good.

Tonight I realized:

The average computer will be replaced 8-10x more often than a manual can-opener.

NEVER assume the store that sold you aomething will carry the stuff that makes it work

Revised definitions for Club Glossary:

OLD; adj.; 2 years - or whenever it's most inconvenient - whichever comes first.

OBSOLETE; adj.; the classication that accompanys your "SALES" ticket.

GOOD NIGHT ALL! and THANKS for all the sound advice and direction. Helped a lot
