I will admit that the previous entry was written yesterday although it carries today's date. I often write blog entries ahead and just post 'em in the morning. How could I find the correct keys without several cups of coffee, eh? How could I even find the keyboard?In the previous entry I scanned that PDF of the Firefly News and Views. When doing so, my old scanner started making strange noises. I swear! Well, this was all it took to walk right down to the local London Drugs and buy a new Canon scanner.
My goodness! Scanners have advanced a bit since the old UMAX that's being replaced. If I remember correctly, Futureshop was bundling 'em cheaply with the purchase of Windows 98. So, you can see that it was really about time for an upgrade, regardless of my hesitancy in the last posting. This one does indeed make creating PDF files easy, as there's a single button to push. Look out old documents, you may be heading to the shredder!
There's a handy doodad in the cover that allows one to scan 35mm film negatives and slides too. I would imagine it might make for clearer copies as the negative would be a whole generation closer to the actual event. It's too bad, I threw away most negatives in a cleaning frenzy one time.
