Tech Bites, Yet Again

I was all set to be a good girl last night and spend a few hours happily cataloguing and uploading my photos. Photos of recent trips, photos of S's wedding, photos of recent cooking escapades.

Then the gods of tech decided to throw a spanner into the works such that everytime I turned my scanner on, it either screwed up my USB ports or caused the whole computer to hang. The gods, they hate me. (And a sidenote: who's been f*cking up my scanner???)

So tonight, I'm going to try and not screw things up even further by reinstalling the driver. Hopefully it works. Stand by, my 2 resident techies (that means you, Mr Picky and you, Ms Busy); you'll be getting an SOS very shortly.

just take digi pics of the pics and upload them. i actually think it works better than a scanner.

Not if you want to catalog and archive them...you don't get the level of detail you would with a scanner.

Man, I don't even have time to moonlight as tech support anymore!!

Yeah so, anyway reinstalling the drivers didn't work. And since I want to save my photos I'd much rather scan them than take digital photos of them.

for a while i thought you had written "throw a scanner in the works" and i was thinking, good pun!

how about getting a digital SLR? uploading will be a lot easier and quality isn't compromised that much.
