I went to my local "Environment Day". Among other things, folks can turn
in "e-waste", electronic things that they no longer want. They just get
destroyed and, with luck, some fractional part gets recycled.
I hate seeing good things go to waste. So I intercepted a scanner and now
have it. An HP Scanjet 6300C. It was large, so I thought that it would
handle legal-sized paper. No luck, it is large but only handles A4 length
and Letter width (and smaller).
It is old and slow but does work with Linux (USB; I haven't tried its SCSI
prot). Is anyone interested in having it? I could likely bring it to the
next meeting. If not, I'm going to throw it back.
