Sorry to be off topic, again, but did anyone see something that might have been this musical scanning clip on CNN last night? Someone who works with me thought she saw it and, needless to say, Roland would like to know if it was there.

Sane is an open source scanning application and the folks there have answered some questions for me. An email came through today that gave me such a chuckle that I had to pass it on. In it is a link to this site <http://www.ganjatron.net/misc/scanjet/scanjet.html> Slide down to the bottom of the page and click on the MPG 1.4 meg video and enjoy! [sane-devel] Announcement: ScanJetPlay for HP ScanJets Date: Mon Dec 26 11:16:16 2005 From: Roland Schregle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (*Out Of Order*) To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Greetings SANErs! Announcing ScanJetPlay, a silly little utility to play music (yes, music!) on your HP ScanJet 3c/3p/4c/4p (possibly others). I kid you not! I came across this easter egg built into the old ScanJets after reading an article in the feb 1997 issue of HP Journal (see http://www.hpl.hp.com/hpjournal/97feb/feb97a8.htm). The SCL command "PLAY TUNE" was presumably included as a gag. I have no idea if this is still available in the newer ScanJets. I was surprised there was no mention of this in the SANE mailing list archives, so I simply hacked together a utility using the SANE lib to exploit this bizarre capability. The result is ScanJetPlay. Yeah, I know scanners are primarily for scanning and this is totally insane, but I simply couldn't resist! You can download the source code and watch a video of my ScanJet 4c with its rendition of "For Elise" at: http://www.ganjatron.net/misc/scanjet/scanjet.html. Please read and understand the disclaimer as there is a potential risk of damage. I've tested ScanJetPlay on my 4c and 4p, the virtually identical 3c and 3p should also be fine, but your mileage may vary on newer models. If something goes wrong (you'll hear it!), power the scanner down *immediately*. Having said that, I'd like to know if this trick also works on the Scanjet 5p (and later models), so user feedback is appreciated. Have fun, and best wishes for the festive season! --GanjaTron -- Nancy Anthracite ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
