[ale] tipping point for desktop linux (actually does something easy with scanners)

[Sean Kilpatrick]

In the early days of personal computers (think Trash-80/Commodore/Atari)
manufacturers of dot matrix printers were less than prompt at delivering 
printer drivers.  I had to write several to get the Atari to play nicely 
with various dot-matrix printers.  I'd hate to think what is involved in 
writing one today, and then porting it to the various operating systems.
