For those who wonder how this question turns out, I went and bought an HP scanner. It doesn't work out of the box on my desktop, which is still on Ubuntu 7.10, but does on the laptop, which is at 8.4. If I manage to get broadband back, I'll be upgrading the desktop. -- Laura (mailto:[hidden email] http://www.laymusic.org/ ) (617) 661-8097 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139 A computer is like a violin. You can imagine a novice trying first a phonograph and then a violin. The latter, he says, sounds terrible. That is the argument we have heard from our humanists and most of our computer scientists. Computer programs are good, they say, for particular purposes, but they aren't flexible. Neither is a violin, or a typewriter, until you learn how to use it.
