Re: [APML] Acer 2720s /HP Photosmart scanners

[Michael Gartland <mgartlan@iconn.net>]

I met Ted Agos at StarConn last Sept. here on Ct. during Saturday afternoon when he
wandered up as I was eating lunch. He ended up spending an hour with me looking
over my setup while I was wolfing down a sub sandwich . I didn't know who it was at
first till I saw the name on his hat. He recognized my name from this board and we
talked for a good while.

A very nice and knowledgble man. He had a lot of good viewpoints on lapping gears
and smoothing drive systems.

If he is monitoring...I'd like to say...HI TED..hope to see you there this year!.

Have a Nice Day!
