Application #2: Scanning Photo Prints

If you don't have a digital camera or if you have a lot of old photo prints lying around that you'd like to work with there's another way to get your photos into your computer. All you need is a low-cost flatbed scanner. Just connect the scanner to your PC, place a print on the scanner bed, and get down to business.
