I have a Polaroid slide maker, which has seen far too little use: in 
part that's because as soon as I buy anything it goes out of favor (in 
this case they invented digital projectors and software slide 
presentations), but in part through poor back up: I could never get 
good driver updates, and therefore have to keep my old computers 
running to use it. In the end, I kicked myself for buying Polaroid, not 
because of the quality of the gear, but because of the size and future 
of the company. Tina is right: stick with the strength: of course we 
should all sell our Leicas and defect !!!!!

Now if only Epson would produce a driver for the Stylus 700 I could get 
rid of the third computer on my home office network ;-)

Cheers
Alastair
