This one time I needed a scanner, and the MP160 was (uh oh, I know I'm going to regret saying this) refurbished and available for less than any scanner around, PLUS I occasionally like to produce color printouts. At least I have XP-on-VMWare as a backup for printing those things that Linux won't, like most of my graphics pdfs (AR prints them on Windows, kills the printer on Linux), any image file (same thing for gimp vs. Photoshop Elements 2.0 or even the Windows file viewer), certain web pages that just don't print right in SeaMonkey (or Firefox) on Linux but are fine in SeaMonkey or IE from Windows. God! I hate to admit it when anything works better in Windows, but at least the OS doesn't.... :-) mhr -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
