Okay, I have something on paper that I need to put on a computer.
How do I do that if I do not own a copier/scanner?

Stare @ it like staring @ a goat?

Or take a picture of the paper with a camera.
Type it up in a word processor if its duplicatable [if that's a word, firefox says under-redline] that way.

If you've already done those after thinking of those first yourself, call MacGyver.

Well...currently I have no camera.
I broke my phone, and that was pretty much my camera.
It took beautiful images. :(

I did think of that though, then that's when I realized I didn't have one anymore.

Anything else? :o

Steal a friend's.

If you have no friends, Plan B. Kill everyone.

What is a library?
Copy store? :o

I haven't been to the public library in.......6 years? :o
And I don't know of any copy/scanner stores, so I'll have to check around.
They'd put it on my little drive thing, or my PSP or something? :o

Something on paper, you need put on a computer, you say? That's easy!

Just use some duck tape. :wacko:

I know, I can be so facetious...

Hehe, well, let me be more specific!
I meant, there's a picture I'm working on, and I need to get it into a computer to where I can possibly edit it into Photoshop, to even add things to it.
That way, I don't have to draw it in a paint program, from scratch! :P

Do you have a Kinkos near you? You should be able to get a scan of it for relatively cheap.

I would also suggest using a USB drive for this rather than the PSP. It's just more straightforward.

Well, I was going to use a USB drive.
It's all I have right now. (left my PSP at my friends house).
Though, we don't have a Kinko's here that I know if.
I'll look it up.

So they could scan it, and then put it on the USB flash drive?
I love technology.

Yeah, I've never done it myself, but I'm not sure how else they would give you the file. Maybe they would burn it onto a CD for you?

It can't hurt to go in and ask them.

I've only ever done the opposite (brought in a digital file to be printed out.)

Well, they put it on the flash drive for me.
It was......


I used more gas to get to a place, than it cost to make the thing digital.
:o
Lol.
Thanks guys though, I wouldn't have known about this thing without ya.
I had to drive 20 minutes to get there.

Serious, the maps on google says there's only 3 even close to me.
The next one closest is in Merrit Island, about a 20-45 minute drive depending on how slow you are/traffic/lights/and which way you go.
After that it's Orlando, which is at the very least 45 minutes away, but where this location is, it would have been 1 hour 15 minutes.
