Scanner

I bought an H.P. 4570C flat bed scanner, even though there was nothing wrong with my 4200C. The reason is the 4500 and 5500 come with a transparent materials adapter (TMA) for scanning 35mm slides and negatives and the H.P. software to use it.
It's a little slow and cumbersome at the beginning of the learning curve but once I get the hang of it, should be OK for small projects.
This picture called "motley Crew" came from a very dark negative.
Of course a 5x8 picture from a bad negative at less than 102k is a little tricky for a neophite but it works for me.

I *really* need to get a scanner that does a decent job of scanning transparencies...my ex got all our pictures and I got all the fucking negatives.

You must be mistaken, that's not Brian.
It came with the scanner.
I've never seen those people.
What picture?
Bruce who?

That'd be wolf that he's talking to.

Not that it's him.

No. Not at all.

Sorry -- the ol' 15" CRT isn't as reliable as it once was. May be time to upgrade.

You're lucky Brian - all I see are 3 pixels that may or may not be a person.

Oh, some are left and some are right, and UT's the center of it all.
I don't know, Onyx. The picture came with the scanner and I'm sticking to it.:p

At the risk of getting a beatdown from Brian, here goes:

L to R: Rich Levy, UT, dragon17, slang, Bob (the host), me, Foster (one of the non-Cellar folks there), Dagney, Brian, Wolf

You don't notice the gun-cocking comment unless you reply to the post. (I added the asterisks, since it's not showing up in the original post.)

Now look Brian, if you're going to be like that, we'll make it a point to NEVER respond to your gathering calls. If you think you're ignored now...

Oh, he's cocky now but just wait till he's been married awhile. I'm having visions of John Wayne swaggering into the house with six gun, spurs and a ten gallon hat. Leaning against the door casing and pushing the hat back on his head, he drawls....yes dear.
