Here I am trying to create a calendar online, through Walgreens.com. First, the "fast" uploader isn't working at all. Thirteen images are listed and awaiting upload. Nothing happens. So I close it, and restart it about five times. Same thing, every time. I back out of the calendar maker and go to their photo center area and try to create the album there. Success! ...Mostly. It get to image 9 of 13 before it's stopping and doing nothing. What percent is that? That's right, it's frozen at 69% completion. I end up having to load the remaining four images one by one. Good job, Walgreens. Stellar server operations.
Then, all I need to do now is scan the kids' pictures with Santa from last weekend. Place picture one in scanner, set scan mode on printer, hit start... ... ... nothing. The little screen on the printer says it's scanning, it's communicated to the computer and the computer has a small window saying the image is scanning, but it LIES. It lies, I tell you.
So, I cancel the scan, which doesn't really work and I have to go through the task manager to end the process. Guess what!? Not responding. Who'da thunk it?
This time, I initiate the scan through the software on the laptop. I use the preview scan option first, which works. I can see the image. Then I go to actually scan, and three minutes later, it completes my request.
Second picture. Repeat all previous scanning steps taken. None work. Not even the preview scan. My eyes cannot roll hard enough, or far enough, into the back of my head.
I get the benefits of electronically managing and accessing my pictures, but seriously!!?? I'm so tired of technology and it's blatant laziness and lack of respect towards me.
Well then... time to destroy a scanner. >:|
