DON’T YOU DARE!
Don’t buy anything from these guys. Or if you do, don’t complain to me.
Once again this productivity tool frustrates me. What should be a neat little gadget doesn’t work reliably.
My expectation is that a useful tool should be like a hammer, screwdriver, or axe. Pick it up use it and don’t worry. When like my snow blower, it doesn’t. OR, requires me to have the strength of Arnold. OR, the genius of Einstein. OR, the attention to detail of a tax accountant. Well, I lose my patience.
This particular POS required a reinstall and, a fresh download of drivers, (Figure that out? I checked the checksums and file dates, identical!) Finally, XP installed it. Or, at least stopped whining about it.
But, it doesn’t scan the one lousy picture I want it to scan.
Arghhh!
So, don’t buy this “solution”.
(I did a web search on Google and Yahoo before I did. But didn’t find any gripes. Else I wouldn’t have either.)
So much for productivity thru technology. This is in my personal technology Hall of Shame just a notch below IBM’s ViaVoice and just above that Toro Snow Blower!
