Is it me, or has Frank been behind the scenes as of late?

Shik: those girls wouldn't have four legs, a tail and hair/fur with their tongue hanging out as they lie on their back and let you rub their tummies?

If so then . . . Shik's been dating doggies! (Girl ones at that!)

HEHE!

Which would explain what we know about his love life thus far...

My roommate begs for pettting, & she's a Jenova.

And ACtually, PigBoy, THIS is my love life of late. So eat my slightly fuzzy scrotum with bearnaise sauce, muthafukka!

Anyone ever see "Don Juan De Marco"? Don't know what made me think of that.

Could be worse. She could be a Jenova's Witness...

And I assume you were referring to the cat in the second picture on that page?

OK, to drag this topic back on subject...

I've stumped Visioneer tech support. I've updated Windows, I've updated my drivers, I've deleted and reinstalled EVERYTHING ten times over in every order imaginable, and I've done everything else I can think of. There are three possibilities:

1) My computer is screwed up. Unlikely, seeing as the USB ports work with other equipment.

2) Their software is screwed up. Possible, but you'd think they'd know of corrupted CDs in a batch of scanners. Unless, of course, this is an uber-new model, which is possible.

3) Their hardware is screwed up. Seeing as the program that's giving me trouble, ppscanmg, or Scan Manager, contacts the scanner first thing after being run, this is quite likely.

Unless they come back with any better ideas, I'm returning it for a refund. So... I need a new scanner.

And where the FRELL is my laptop?! Two to three days, my left kneecap...

I always wanted to get a tech support job for like a day (depending). Anyway, as people started describing their problems to me I'd say something like this in complete sincerity:

    Customer: "Allright it's a Intel Pentium 2 and I have Windows 95."

    Tech Support:"Ah, well there's your problem right there."

    C: "What is?"

    TS: "Look, we get this one a lot, here. You're running the wrong operating system."

    C: ...

    TS: "Yeah what I'd recommend is that you take that kludged and relatively useless pile of junk you've got there and either sell it or set fire to it out in the street.

    C: "Uh..."

    TS: "Anyway, your best bet is to get over to your local authorized Apple dealer..."

    etc.

I presume you've tried obtaining a more up-to-date driver file (probably off their website), but thought I'd mention it just in case.

Sounds like your taking it back is the best idea.
And always remember computers are here to make your life easier. Just keep telling yourself that.
