I was never that limited.  With Linux there's a generic package called SANE
(Scanner Access Now Easy), which I recall has/had a command-line utility to
convert to & from different file formats at will.  Ha!  I think its
name was 'convert'!  ;-)

Absolutely.  (Mostly as a coffee table these days.)  She always thought it
was hers because she paid for it.

 EV> AH, the joys of Networking.

Yep, there is that too.  E.g. my Win98SE vBox thinks it prints to a fancy
HP Laserjet when it creates PDF files.  :)

Oh yeah.  If there is something in the reincarnation thing I wanna come
back as a Portuguese citizen.  I heard somewhere that their culture allows
for four extra meal times per day, beyond the usual three.  I.e. up to
seven meals a day without feeling guilty!

Cheers,
Paul.
