jwaneeta at 08:05am on 18/08/2005Is it possible? I think I just managed to lay hands on an 11x17 scanner. I was lamenting to a comics editor about the woe of scanning stuff in pieces on these accursed 8 1/2 x 11s, which seem to be the only things available for under $4000, and he sent me some links:

He said four of his freelancers have purchased these miracle machines and reported satisfaction. Said they work just fine, and spread concentric rings of joy through every life they bless. (Sounds like I'm describing an uncommon fine dildo, doesn't it? But if you knew the hunger in my line of work for a real scanner, a virile scanner, a scanner that can get the job done -- well, dildos ain't in it.)
I had to try. I'll report if the thing actually, you know, works. I have a creeping fear I'll get a cardboard facsimile in an envelope with no return address, but I had to try.
Nothing else has been going on besides work. We did have a monster storm, but I crapped out with the photos -- the wall cloud erased the sun. Lightning struck a large business two blocks away and it burned to the ground, and I went over and gawked blankly with about two hundred other blank gawkers (who knew there were even that many people in the neighborhood?) but those pics didn't amount to much, either. Ooh, the firefighters, though. A building on fire from a lightning strike, under a sky still exploding with lightning, and here's a bunch of guys climbing up 60 ft ladders to aim the hoses. Swoony courage. I'm such a groupie.
