that's me, techno-geek

well, finally, i managed to install the scanner/copier i picked up on eBay a couple of weeks ago. it arrived the day before i headed across town to dog-sit for my brother, so i was busy packing and trying to make sure i hadn't forgotten anything important. then when i got back it took several days to recoup my energy, and then ... and then ... and ... well, you know the story.

anyway, i bit the bullet this afternoon, installed the software and did a couple of trials. seems to work really well. the "true" test will be tomorrow when i try to copy my 3rd quarter taxes, LOL

fyi, it's a Canon CanoScan LIDO 80 and it's powered solely by the USB interface cable. no extra wires or any of that nonsense.

anyway, so far so good, knock on wood ... hey, i wrote a poem!

oh, and ps, here's the first test photo ... what? you expected a touching family photo?

    I'm high as a kite, fresh back from seeing Wm. Gibson on his Zero History tour here in the Duke City. He signed my original Neuromancer "To ZenWoman, RazorGirl... " FAB!
    See my tweet for a possible "clue" to use in the forthcoming Scavanger Hunt. How's all that for crypto comments ??
