what scanner are you using?

Things are looking not so good for Thursdays performance of "sunshine of your love". Looks like music teacher might be having second thoughts as he is the only one with an electric guitar and playing a pop rock song. My guess is that if she says no then he will want to blow off the other competion he is to be in. Music is that important to him.

I think Born To Be Wild needed a bit of distortion. It's rock!

Ahh but this is front of his class and with the teacher there.......he must behave and follow the rules. But at home.............well at home he has at least three pedals that do different things. I don't ask he no tell.

Oh and this is not the music teacher who is having second thoughts. He on the other hand is pushing the little rocker to expand.

Brazilian, sex, and boring don't go together.
We can help you... but we'll need pictures.

Well Pete sometimes it just doesn't click. And this was one of those times. I have come to the realization that I absolutely cannot stand being in relationships. I'd much rather have sex with two different chicks and maybe go without the next weeekend, then have to report to the same chick every night.

I am 23, variety is the spice of life.

It is a specialized scanner for aerial film. It is made by Vexcel, and is a photogrammetric scanner. It cost us a good bit more than that 2004 GT3 Sid posted.

holy spit!

i have a nice film scanner for working with 35mm film, negatives or slides. it has 3600 true DPI. a scan of a single slide or negative is huge. i can't even remember how big the file is, but 120MB each seems to be about right. you can see the grain of the grain of the film at that resolution.

Yea same. I need a vacation. Thankfully, I am going to SXSW in March so it will be a much needed break.
