Have you checked if other drivers are compatible? I have an Epson Perfection 1200 Photo scanner for which the drivers weren't updated. Searching on the internet, I found that the Perfection 2400 Photo uses the same chipset and that the drivers are updated and compatible.

FLIF will never kill PNG anyway as long as it keeps linking to libpng.

I've had no issues with Soylent 1.4/1.5 producing the kind of room-clearing gas that earlier versions did. It's really rather disappointing.

When's the last time it was every six months?

Hint: It was probably sometime back when the release was two CDs, and not 6 CDs and 2 double-sided DVDs.

If their plan is to get more third parties to go along with their DRM, then they haven't really learned a thing yet.
