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!

its a weird disease that there is no cure. Side effects are uncontrollable texting on phones, the need for terabytes of music on an iPod in which you physically cannot listen to in a lifetime, and the craving to have a thousand friends that you probably will never meet in person. I see this affliction every day and its epidemic.
