i could cope with that, i dont even have a scanner at present cos the dumb drivers dont work with any form of NT. anyway there cheap enough, might just go and buy a scanner that works on XP and OSX, that would be good.

this is old news but very interesting, i think we may need to make a new thread on the announcements of interesting topics, and link to them, then new members can get to interesting threads easily.
