Hi,
OK, yes I had a Mustek DVD player, it was mechanically and electrically 'feeble'.
So I put it with the trash.
I did play anything though, but started damaging my disks.

OK, here what happened, I needed to do some paperwork and make copies..
So I normally use my canoscan 3000ex scanner on an old Win98 install,
and then print in Linux or windows for the copies on my Epson R200,
with continuous ink system, as that costs next to nothing.
I had planned an hour to do the paperwork,
but the Canon scanner no longer was recognised in windows.
Now 5 hours later, after taking apart the scanner, my hole schedule messed up,
a driver re-install fixed it in windows.
Why re-install? I had not even used it for maybe month!
So Billy The Gates is not welcome here, unless he pays me for extra time.
(time wasted).
That MS OS is probably the largest source of irritation in this universe, and possibly, or likely
the cause of the biggest drop in real industrial output.
So, anyways, Canon driver, Canon is very good optically, but they should really
support Linux, as MS soft will give them a lousy image.

That depends, the Epson scanners I can get here at reasonable price
need a driver that so far does not compile, misses header files,
and is not even totally free.

Yep. I am looking at HP too.
