Scanner

Would you believe in all these years I've never had a scanner? My boyfriend just gave me his old one. Now I need to figure out how to use it. It will sure make matters simpler to put art from my canvases and sketchbooks onto my photo stream and Zazzle and Cafe Press and so on. But I hate fiddling with new (to me) technology.  Usually about the time I get so frustrated with the thing that I want to check it out the window, I figure it out.
