Another person in the lab spoke up, "Hey, why don't you put four on the scanner at once, like this?" Why not indeed, I figured.

Now, after three hours trying to transport the photos from the Mac network to my PC, I've discovered the TIFF files are too large to save on floppies, attach to emails, or upload to the FTP servers available to me, and too large to open in any available Mac graphics program in order to cut the photos apart. I tried opening them in a compression program, compressing the files and saving as JPEGs, but those (Mac format JPEGs, I guess) won't open on my PC.

Tomorrow, I'm taking a Zip diskette to the Conservatory lab for one last try at transferring them using the Zip drive, which supposedly can read PC-formatted Zip disks. If that doesn't work, I'll just have to rescan. That'll teach me to try something seemingly more efficient.

(Now, after wasting all that time following Choral Society practice, I'll have to spend the rest of the night finishing my essay.)
