Slide Scanner Recommendation
After scanning several thousand slides - but with many more to go - my faithful old Acer Scanwit 2720 has finally given up the ghost. So, unless anyone knows of somewhere in the UK that might repair it (Benq won't), I'm looking for a new 35mm slide scanner. I was very fond of the Scanwit - it did all I needed: I... 10 Mar 2010 15:18

Canoscan 8800f...need help w/ it
Got a canoscan 8800f as a hand-me-down from my brother a few days ago. The scanner powers on just fine, the "scanning bar" lights up like its supposed to, and the computer-scanner interface is seamless. However, when I press a button-any button-to scan a picture or a piece of paper nothing happens. I've tried: 1) Sh... 8 Feb 2010 06:41
