Hope this helps. I started six years ago before there were good burners. I had a casio camera and two Zip drives, a laptop and a desk top. It still took three hours to download 64 tiffs onto a zip. Now I have a USB and a 16x burner. Also a Acer Scan wit . takes a film strip of six or six slides Takes a few secondsto load and unload each batch. This scanner is on a spare computer and has to transfer to "Big Daddy" with zips....still slow but I can be washing dishes.
But here are some hints!! When scanning pictures (I have a USB flatbed with transparecy adapter and a pasrralell) I use Photoshop with the scanners software. I preview only once. then I adjust picture size by looking at the rulers on the flatbed. I scan thirty or so at a time then I exit the scanning applet and save them all (usually to the same file) Furthermore I use Voice recognition so my hands are free for saving. Photoshop and VR are so heavy that saving things is the only time I can use them together. I can scan and save about thirty pictures an hour this way and be feeding slides into the computer called "stupid" at the same time.
I have scanned thousands (about 5 to 6) of pictures and slides. Anybody want a speed contest??? Numbering and cataloguing them takes time too.
In 1958 or so I walked into a record store right after a super salesman had convinced the owner that Mono recordings were finished, done with. I bout 20 or so classic toscanni records for 50 cents each. Guess its time to stock up on VHS stuff...
When I was in High School Sputnik had just gone up and we were told to go into Computers. By the time i was programming it ws on rented time with engineers and programmers to assist. 9On a Ferranti Pegasus) And in their spare time what did they do? Try to win the pools and programm the hooter to play trumpet involuntary. The time was something like L 200 a minute. I couldnt afford it. Play is the mother of innovation
Definitely do Grenwhich all of it and I hope you took the boat down the Thames and then on another day go to the Water works Museum in Syaon Park (or is it Kew) and then go too the Irom Bridge Museum and take a ride on the Romney Hythe and Dimchurch small gague railway...British Engineering is quirky and Amazing. But my question is when is someone going to do something proper for Alan Turing. I wrote my first programs on a Pegasus at ICT Ferranti (Turings Co) in 1963. The White Hart Inn is just around the corner (common you Arthur Clark folks) Its about time someone wrote about the dawn of computing time in London Didja know that most of the non Governmental computers in London in 1960 or so were on one Street Newman Street??? and IBM and ICT shared a transformer (Which blew at least once) The only private entity who had his own computer was Fred Hoyle Maybe this needs a new heading like "DAWN OF COMPUTER TIME" in London...How do you do a new Heading????
In 1963 I set sail for London with a return trip ticket, a little money and a typewriter with a tourist visa. I had been doing Engineering work in this country no computers. Big companies didn't have them yet. I thought maybe I would pick grapes in France. But I knocked on the door of a Yankee firm right near my cheap digs in Russell Square. They hired me. (I had done a short thing in machine code when I was in College.) I was that company's first full time programmer. Back then businesses rented computer time. Programmes had to be compiled. And so I married an engineer and had four kids in four countries.(Same engineer)Yes they gave me a hassle about changing my Visa. But it got changed. There was a guy working there I had worked with here who gave me a good reference. References help.The guy I trained to replace me was the first in an engineering office in London to have an in-house computer. From what I hear there are still ways. One guy got the job there and then knew a body shop here who hired him and sent him the papers. If you can do a job no one else has done before you'll get the job. Then straighten out the paperwork. We're the only country that throws people in jail just for trying. I suggest if youre not in England that you speak the language well. All European coountries have had a lot of immigration in the past years and life at the bottom of the economic ladder is not that great. But what the heck you're only young once.
