Tech triumph #1

We need to keep track of these; especially during the opening days of school when everybody needs everything yesterday.

The bulb blew on a colleague's 1975 Kodak slider projector. Ahem. No replacement bulbs in my cupboard.

But what's this? My spanking new HP G4010 Scanner has a nifty slot built into the lid that accommodates 35mm slides, plus a specific button and process for scanning and popping out individual files five-at-a-time!

The hidden treasure in all of this is that the only slides I could find to test it out were from a carousel of slides used for a Middle States evaluation back in the 1980s; great images of our community which I look forward scanning and posting soon.
