Scanner/ patch

I have an HP combo scanner/printer, small inexpensive, a few years old.

When I upgraded - updated? well to IE 7 last fall the optical recognition stopped working. HP posted a work around (hold the ctrl atl key and sing any Beatles tune). That failed me.

WELL, on a lark I checked and they -HP super minds - had posted a patch -- now I can scan TEXT.

This is like a gun in a monkey's paws!

in IE 7, I do love the tabs (one window with tabs for hotmail, the latimes.com mail, and for gmail.....; then a wndow for with tabs for amazon.com, one for my librarything.com catalog, one for abebooks.com, one for http://www.complete-review.com/main/main.html ).

ah, the monkey is loose in reality, hide the bananananananas.
