Still mad at xerox myself (none / 0) (#2)

Several years ago we needed a scanner in the office to try something so i agreed to buy one and let them borrow it. I purposely spent an extra $50 to get one to scan some slides. Big advertising on box it does slides. Never did figure out how to get it to do so. It appears to need a $99 upgrade to the software it came with and which is no longer available by the time i got scanner back and tried to use it as intended. Not that i would have paid. Not one word in manual about upgrading but the pic of the software don't match what was provided and there was something in the system tray icon about upgrading. Super Sleazy :/

Intend to find a pirated version of the software one of these days. Try and sue me for getting it to do what it advertised :)

$150 for nothing. We don't forget stuff like that silly vendors!
