   BTW, I'd like to formally give Hewlett-Packard the middle finger for not   
   bothering to write any Vista compatible drivers for my existing Printer   
   (Photosmart 7660) and scanner (Scanjet 3500c). Sure, they're not the latest   
   and greatest, but they're not exactly ancient technology either!   
      
   How much time and effort is it for a high-profile technology multinational   
   to have someone write some drivers for some of their own products?   
      
   I am NOT amused. :-(
