Yeah, my Dad's old scanner works fine, but even Windows 7 won't recognize it. (Would it kill them to write drivers for this stuff?) Probably going to give it to the person I gave my old resurrected XP laptop to, unless they decide to put 7 on there.

I hope my external DVD drive from 2004 isn't shut out as well. Drives with actual disc trays as opposed to laptop drives in sheep's clothing seem to be rare now. I always feel like the disc is going to break snapping them on and off those ball bearing hubs.

Futzing with XP on the old laptop after a year and a half using 7 was awkward.
