well, I got a new scanner. What the heck. It even seems to work
under linux pretty well. Took about 15 minutes from opening the
box to doing decent color scans. Not bad. A epson Perfiction 1650 Photo
if anyone is curious.

So, heres the first fruits of the new scanner. A scan of
a doofle from a 4 hour meeting.

So it was a productive meeting after all.
