No sweat! > Well Jalle I am one of the fortunate few to have never run Windows on my home computers. Started out with OS-9 on a Tandy CoCo II, and other than a few things I have had to do at work on a Windows machine have never used anything but UNIX like OSs. However other than getting my sound card working and printing setup and running have never tried to get anything going on here. I have a scanner in a box that I have never taken out, but that's mainly because it was given to me and I have never had a reason to use it. I have been thinking about picking up a digital camera though and find your posting most encouraging. So when I get a few more pennies saved up and buy my new Olympus C 720 hopefully I will be posting a similar success story for the list.
