The hardware does seem to "just work".  The person who wrote the 
driver just made some bad user interface decisions.  Or they're bad 
for my purposes.   

Let me try another question: Is there someone with a 2-3 year old 
computer (mine is AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3500+) who's upgraded 
the memory to 2G who's able to manipulate letterpaper sized files 
scanned at 2400 without going and drinking coffee while they rotate?

You can't lead if no one will follow.  People throw up their hands, 
then sit on them.  They just want to get on with their lives.  The 
leaders keep saying, "We need strong leadership," then they sneak off 
to peek at their poll ratings.
