Don't get me started. I could tell many war stories about the SCSI problems
I've seen on everything from midrange HP and Sun boxes to workstations to
PC's and Mac's.

Obviously this is a danger in using mnemonic systems. :-)

this.

ardware companies try a little harder than Acer has. It's
really a shame, because overall my 2740 is a nice piece of hardware for the
price -- but I can't recommend one without lots of qualifications.

ude, of course, so
it's easier to see if the meter gave the right exposure. When I do use print
film for such things, I make sure to write "NO COMPENSATION/NO FILTRATION"
on the envelope.

I can certainly do so. Every few days I scan another batch. Next time I'll
try to remind myself to grab a stopwatch first.

and the GIMP. I think it's a good value for the money.

gh, as
Andrew Brooks has pointed out: GIMP does not support 48-bit TIFF's. Does
anyone know of any image editing package on Linux which does? I'd prefer to
keep the cropped images in 48-bit TIFF until the very final step, then
output 24-bit JPEG for web use.

P
, but AFAIK nobody's seen it happen yet. So far I've done about 6
rolls and it's been spot on, every time. It would depend on how accurate the
Scanwit can position the carrier.
I'm sure someone here will be willing to speculate, though. :)

Eddie,
PCI is 33MHz: megahertz, not megabytes. Since PCI is a 32-bit bus, the
maximum transfer rate is actually 132MB/sec. And some higher-end machi
urn policy (just in case). The 30 days have long expired, but the 2740 is
still sitting here. I like it in spite of its flaws. And it works quite well
if you throw out MiraPhoto and use VueScan instead.

I've also used
2"x2" gun patches when I ran out. They work fairly well but are much
smaller. Come to think of it, they're also much cheaper than the PEC pads.
Maybe I should pick up a big bag of 12ga shotgun patches next time they're
on sale.

the correct one. The KISS Principle is an extremely
simplified version of this statement (perhaps an example of a meme operating
on itself???).
I've also heard the aphorism you refer to, but I'm not sure where it
originally came from. It's been attributed to Napoleon Bonaparte, among
making you blush Ed?).

very responsive; he's gotten me some advice directly from Acer's engineers
and also says that Acer is working on fixing MiraPhoto and improving the
quality of their tech support.
If you have any other questions, fire away. Most people on this list have

American Response Centre first at

it helps if you're friendly with the rep who answers.
