Hello, James
Thank you very much for your response.  More than that, you are the first 
person that has given any creedence to the thought that I've had about this 
matter:  that there might just be something wrong with the cable/ports that 
connect to the USB2 bus.  Things are working as they are supposed to now (our 
scanner and our burner are both in the front ports, so I should have no need 
of rebooting soon :)) but sometime tomorrow, I plan on shutting down our 
computer and switching the cables.  I will leave both USB2 devices in the 
same ports they are in now.  Theoretically, both devices SHOULD eventually 
"dissappear"  I will get back to you with the results.

Thanks again :)  Like I said, your thoughts confirm my suspicions.

Have a Great Day
