Dear Richard I think these comments of yours show that there will never be agreement on many aspects of things associated with subtle differences in working methods. Like Macs and PCs. For instance, I will never allow fluo tubes near critical screens. Where I do have fluos I mix with tungsten. The fatigue level goes up to much for my liking. Your scan number query is just plain illogical from my point of view. Surely you try and group similar trannies out of a batch? That would mean you will always scan out of designated number order? SCSI card? You'll be telling me next that you take your lenses apart now and then to see if the glass bits are in the right order;-) Yours Bob Croxford << I find the file saving on a Mac (OS 9.2) really frustrating! When saving a sequence of files with just the end number changed such as, Joe bloggs scans 001, it seems one cannot simply select the starting file name and just change the number to say 002 and on up. You have to enter the whole thing each time! Apart from being inefficient, there is room for error and a subsequently 'lost' files. Perhaps I have missed a trick on this one. Yes the scanner software automatically gives a sequential number change (numbers only though), but most customers appreciate their own choice of file identification and numbering hence the difficulty. Second I wish there was some way of checking the configuration of the SCSI card as we can easily do in Win2K. Perhaps things like this are not encouraged, but there is something comforting being able to actually check that everything is set correctly! >> Cheers Richard >> =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
