Dear Chuck and all of you who have so nicely written me repeatedly with so 
much help:

The scanner works! Not in the pooter I wanted to use....one a bit 
slower...but it at least works!!! And not in 36-bit..only 24...but that may 
be the aging video card...

I have great advice for any of you dealing with Acer support. If at first you 
don't get a good body on the phone..call back.  The third time was the trick 
for me..the first two wanted to "send it back to look at it"...but the third 
knew exactly what it was doing and told me to take out the cheap plastic 
slide holder and see if it was bowed...(it was..I would snap it shut, but it 
would come back bowed open). So he airmailed me a new carrier and it works 
like a charm! He actually had seen, touched, and used the scanner!! (He has 
one himself!)

When I scan on 36-bit it starts and scans about 1/2 inch..then the whole scan 
goes into bitmap blur...I suspect it has a very minimal 24-bit card in that 
computer..will check it out. Not impressed with the Miraphoto software and 
will tongiht download Mr. Hamrick's Vuescan.

Thanks again for all the help!

Now, on to replace my speaker surrounds...
