You know, it's silly, but I'm quite peeved to have lost the auction for the scanner. If only I had checked my email a little earlier. Sixteen (sixteen!) people bidded within the last hour of the auction, and being busy, I didn't even have a chance. Argh! And of course there's not another one out there. Bugger. And now I'm really running into the stupid freaking "only supports system 8.6 and above" problem. We have system 8.1, just a step down, really, but it screws everything up. Gah. It galls me to have to look for older items. And we can't just buy a new computer because the scanner doesn't work, but we really want a scanner at home. Why did that stupid freaking flashing floppy have to show up? And why won't any of the "troubleshooting" methods work? ARGH!

It vexes me. I am sorely vexed.
