Default I hate my scanner.

I hate it. I hate it with a passion.

It is the slowest thing the world has ever seen, it takes minutes to boot up, it only scans 2/3 of the paper and...

IT IS ******* HUGE!

I mean huge as in huuuuuuuuge - like, THREE times larger than any other non-industrial scanner I have ever seen. Here it is:


This picture, however, do not really make it justice, so I made a comparison image:



And one thing led to another...





I hate it. I hate it with a passion.

Do you have any similar kind of electronic devices you REALLY hate?

Hmm...

Well, there's the laptop I'm on now. It's a Vista...

I can't really tell the size of your scanner since there's nothing in the pictures that show scale comparison. Perhaps putting your hand in one pic? I'm sure it isn't big enough to destroy the world.

lmao XD!!!!!!!! A whole new degree of awesome and WTF at the same time.

My scanner sucks too. It scans things at insane resolutions, and I can't change the resolutions easy either. I would like to not see every little pixel of my photo, keep it at 1980x1280 or something, instead of 5625x8750.

Well at least you have a scanner, I do not, but then again I don't have any practical use for one anyways, because I do not create anything that would need to be scanned.

Lol!

Looks like Avatar has a serious movie competitor.

But yeah, there's nothing I really hate using, rather all technology seems to hate me. Pretty much everything electronic I touch crashes, freezes or jams on me.

Oh also Eltu, since at work scanning is ALL I do, would you mind if I printed out the movie ad picture and put it up on my desk at work? I'm not taking any credit for it but it's so win
