A much shorter story would be taking the images and a blank CD down to Kinko's and scanning them in on their machines. And if Kinko's isn't the "deal of the century" either, there's probably several other stores in the same business with cheaper rates.
Hey, never thought of that. Anyway, in order to keep my post count up, here is the long version
We do own a cheapy digital camera which I have confessed before I don't
use much. Have owned a couple of used scanners which didn't seem to work
so I sold them in garage sales (stay with me here and remember I am
technologically challenged)......................
So, the other day I visited or called every store in the area (and some out)
to get info/prices on scanners. I found one (managers close out) at CompUSA
for (drum roll).................................................................. $29 after rebate. DPI resolution looked good and at that price
how could I miss? Guess what? Although the deal was good until 9-30-05,
they didn't have any. I said "call your other stores". They couldn't find one
but said "You can order it on line." So, I go home and (A) I can't find a store
that has one, and (B) the small print says they won't ship it. I have to pick it up at the store. Long story short.........I called the manager of the closest
store and he found 72 units nationwide. However, most were demos, meaning (according to him) they may not have all the parts and cords etc.
If he locates a complete unit, he will call me (this week) and have it shipped
to him where I can then pick it up. Whew! So, what do y'all think?
Bait and switch?
BTW, this is not a tease. Once I get set up to post photos (if it's easy)
you may be sorry the gauntlet was thrown down. OTOH, some of C-Ts
stuff is real nice. Hope I can keep to to the standards he has set for me
