Scanner Woes

I am really bummed. My Epson Perfection 4490 is not working. Scans are really screwed up as you can see in one of my Pbase galleries.

It's the second scanner, my first was replaced by Circuit City because it too had issues but not like this. Take a look.

I've emailed Epson Tech Support. I guess I'll probably be sending it back to Epson for repair soon.

I was going to go out and take pictures yesterday but this has kind of put a damper on the whole thing. Why go out and shoot if you can't take your negatives and scan them?
