Default I scanned my new license in . . .

I scanned my new Master's License into my computer using
my TravelScan pcmcia scanner set at 3,200 dpi and Photoshop
5 as the Twain compliant client. I saved the scan as a .psd
(photoshop document) at 168 megabytes and also as a high
quality .jpg at 15 megabytes.

I printed out a couple copies and they are indistinguishable
from the original except for the paper which is thinner. I
need to get some thicker paper and the copies will be perfect.

The only trouble is it takes about twenty minutes for the
computer to process and spool the image data for the printer.
The hard drive whirs and clicks like mad the whole time.

What a royal pain in the arse! I have a fast computer, too.
It's a Pentium M running at 1.3 gig and 512 meg of RAM.
The printer runs off USB.
