Oh well.  Even if it wasn't for that, the setup screen is
sufficiently counter-intuitive to block my progress anyway.
For now, though, I'm scanning up a storm - to a thumb drive.
Then I plug that thumb drive into my Linux box, where it's
grabbed by the Windows XP VM that I'm running under VirtualBox.
From there I transfer it over to the Linux side (ironically,
via SFTP).  It works well enough for me not to want to spend
much more time on it.  It _is_ a nice little offline scanner,
though.
