That's just plain rude @oldwheels - you'd expect someone to ask first, at least.

Indeed. Just because someone APPEARS to be struggling, never assume they are. Always offer assistance first and don't barge in.

I've been playing with my new scanner again.

What did you get?

I picked up a s/h Canon Lide 220 earlier this year.

Quarter distance in the Indy 500, and all green running so far...

A Canon LiDE 300 (new)

It says on Amazon that it's 2400 dpi, but the highest resolution on the drop down menu is only 600dpi, so I'm not quite sure what to make of it. I've still got until 4.6.23 to send it back, but I don't know whether there's anything to be gained from that.

Ah, free audio feed here: https://www.indycar.com/Radio

Can't do anything about the cheesy adverts.

They got to lap 91 / 200 before the first yellow got thrown. Someone's clouted the wall in T2

The software can be a bit arsey. That's something that pops up in the reviews of the lide range of scanners.

Your hands are on the wrong arms!
And how were you holding the camera?

Out of the first 4 or 5 times I used it the software crashed twice, but it's kept going ok since then. First time it hung at the 'warming up' popup and I had to stop it using Task Manager, after which the computer went a bit doolally for a while. Next time it just kept reporting that the USB wasn't plugged in when it was. I chose it because it's the same one (or looks the same) as the one I've used in the library (although their interface s/w seems all different).

The beer is a Square Ball (appropriate....) so normal rules don't apply.

Back under green on half distance.

Oh, and there was a pile-up in the pit lane as well.

Ah, are you using the full-on software, or the drivers only?
