My scanner went kaput yesterday; jammed up and now the light bar mechanism thingie has become immobile.  The warranty expired nearly ten years ago and I'm not tech-savvy enough to tear open the case to try and tinker with it, though I wouldn't be surprised if the chain pulley mechanism is either worn down or burnt out, too.  'twas a good run, scanner.  Years of helping me bring my artwork online and into the digital world.  But now, I think it's time to retire.  With your last hurrah, you scanned in my full commission load from MFF.
I've ordered a new A3-sized scanner to replace it.  Now I won't have to crop my larger sketches anymore! :D  The frustrating thing, however, is that it'll take about two weeks or so to arrive, and mere moments ago I finished a brand new sketch I'm particularly proud of (which is terrific, because I'd been in an art slump during MFF).  I suppose my grandmother's all-in-one might do an okay job as a temporary replacement, but quality leaves much to be desired.  Sigh-ee... patience is a virtue.

10 years is a FANTASTIC run! Wow! Well, I'm glad you're getting a new scanner. And A3, that's pretty sweet!

Aye, even better considering it had been an on-the-spot purchase from Wal-Mart :D
A3 will be really handy and save me a lot of hassle in the future.
