Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And natively, it takes forever and freezes the explorer window for the nonce.
Weird, maybe it's a Vista thing. I use zip files with thousands of source code files and it doesn't seem to have any troubles.

So...it zips them when you say "archive", but then does it PUT them somewhere?? Because that's what i associate "archive" with. And that's what I'd be scared of, if I clicked "archive", that it would put my files somewhere I couldn't find them!

Oh, snap!

That's what I was worried about, too, but I tried it, and it puts them in the location where the files originated (i.e., the desktop, or the specific folder o' documents).

Our wings are not tired.
I got the Netflix Wii streaming disc today and it's swell. So now I've got the Roku in the bedroom (and Steve has my old Roku at his place in Boston, with which he watches my Netflix queueue and my Amazon Unbox purchases - totally legally). Not bad.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
I just realized that my fairly new laptop doesn't have a good scanning application. The one it has will only scan at 300 dpi tops, and I need to be able to scan at a higher dpi for the photo book I'm trying to put together.
Any ideas on a free/cheap scanning application?

You could check the website of the company that makes the scanner, they might have free software for scanning.

I can't find the disk that came with the printer. It is a Dell 942. I have a scanning interface loaded, but I can't scan at higher than 300 dpi.
Does anyone know if this is due to the scanner itself? Or do I need to find different software?

All is well that ends in pizza.
This [link] is the download page form Dell of the software for your printer. I don't know if it'll help the scanning functions.
Direct download link, if it works: [link]

Thanks DC. I think there is an issue with Vista. I found a patch, but I am still having issues. I need to find a block of time when I can call Dell and have them figure this out.
