  Its just me here... My aunt has old family photos (1897+); I packed up 
the laptop and scanner and went through the first batch Friday. I have 
one of the Windows boxes set up as storage only and would like to have 
the photos in a more 'secure' (meaning its easier to swipe the laptop 
than the box) place. Being able to access the printer would be a bonus.
  Sidenote- my aunt/uncle are in their 60's/70's; having me scan the 
photos was quite a kick for them... They finally got a dvd player for 
the tv, but haven't figured out how it works- scanning the photos into 
the laptop was like rocket science. I was -very- impressed with the 
scanner prog I was using; I've been working with Windows for 7-8 years 
and the HP scanner program I've been using is -total- junk. I'm glad 
I've been installing Fedora (and other builds) onto the boxes here... 
I've been seeing how lame Windows really is.
