Jim,<br>A comment after my heart... Last week I went over to set up my dad's new printer onto windows XP, so 20 minutes, a driver download, and a reboot later his printer was up and running.<br><br>I also got a new printer/scanner combo, before I plugged everything in, and before I finished installing the ink cartirdges there was a little bubble pop up that said my printer was ready to use. I sat backed and laughed a little. Really makes me enjoy anytime someone says "Linux won't be ready until my grandma can use it."<br>
<br>Just had to kick in my two cents after reading your post.<br><br>Regards,<br>Arron<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Apr 8, 2008 at 4:05 PM, Jim Hall <<a href="mailto:volunteer.jim@gmail.com">volunteer.jim@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br>

Got my first ever scanner up and running! USB and Xsane recognized it first thing without the usual Windoze jump through hoops BS. Linux is great!<br>
