I have a scanner capable of scanning 1400mm wide and 100meters long.... wether it can do it for me is another matter as I cant get the downloaded drivers to run on Windows XP.

I need to bring the scanner upstairs and plug it into my Windows 7 computer and see if the automatic download works ... but... to do that I need assistance from someone to carry the thing up.. but when I ask the 17yr old lad something weird happens.. shoulders hunch over... eyes glaze over... bottom lip starts protruding.. weird mumblings can be heard and then somehow he just vanishes!
