A triumph of scanning.

Oosterman family in our first ‘temporary dwelling’. 1956

Today the bullet was fired through the church. I bought a scanner. The day held the promise of rain. In an act of contraindication I went to sunny up myself, went to the Good Guys electronics.
Here are the results after hours of just plodding along coping with inserting a disc and downloading the software. I tried about ten times and when I could not find a single beam to hold my weight, 😉 I had a quiet cup-o-tea and overcame. Most modern appliances are now wire-free. They apparently connect without cables. The manual and instructions for the scanner-printer can only be read after downloading the ‘software’. (disc)

I almost took the printer back when I had, all of a sudden, an Eureka moment. Even though the printer-scanner was plugged in and I had inserted the cartridges and diligently followed all the numbered visual instructions, including the arrows throwing plastic bags into a bin and the light was blinking, but it also kept on saying the ‘scanner was not plugged in’. I was at my wits end. When EUREKA . I don’t have wire-free connection and I needed a USB cable. ( not provided)

So here the results of scanning AND storing the pitures.

The first piture is the old one taken of the photo by my camera. The next the same but SCANNED. The following photos also scanned. The scanner is gleaming white and makes a kind of nice purring sound. I am so excited.
