 Yeah, easy things like that make me glad I got into computers... :) 
Side note about the scanner- I'm in a bit of a rush to get things 
scanned. I started a (didn't know then) major project last Fall- an Aunt 
holds about 3/4ths - 2/3rds of the family photos with the rest being 
scattered around through the rest of us. The Aunt who holds the photos 
turns 70 this year (also know like 95% of the photoed people); a Great 
Aunt just turned 99 a few months ago. So... its /somewhat/ important 
that my hardware plays nicely with an OS. Hopefully, that explains my 
rant. :)
