| Wedding bells are beginning to ring, prospective newlyweds are filling out gift registries, and shoppers are deciding what to buy the happy couple for their wedding gift. Have you ever wondered how an electronics product would be received as a gift? Retrevo’s latest Gadgetology study asked consumers how they felt about giving and receiving a high tech product like a digital camera, camcorder, MP3 player, or other electronics gear as wedding gifts or other occasions. The response was overwhelming positive. |

Both men and women in the study listed a camcorder on the top of the list. It would only seem natural that something to document the family history from the honeymoon through grandchildren would be a popular gift. Digital cameras came in a close second. Surprisingly one gadget came in dead last and you can learn what it is here. |

| Big Disconnect Between Givers and Receivers |
| The Gadgetology study also revealed a major disconnect between gift givers and gift recipients. It turns out that most gift givers don't think anyone would even want to receive a high tech gift. Supporting that finding is the fact that most people have never even given a high tech item as a gift. Someone needs to tell gift givers that most people would enthusiastically welcome a camera, laptop, MP3 player, or even an HDTV set as a gift for most occasions. |

| Some Occasions Are Better Than Others |
| The safest occasion for gadget gifts is birthdays, with almost 80% indicating a gadget would be just fine. High tech wedding gifts are also a safe bet with close to 70% of both men and women saying they’d be happy with camcorder or some other electronics. The reaction to gadgets as Valentine’s Day gifts was less enthusiastic but even so, more than 50% of women said an electronics product would be okay. |

How to register lexmark x6570 scanner in Win XP control panel
I would like to use my X6570 under windows without being forced to use the tideous Lexmark SW. I only have a WIFI connection, no USB cable plugged in
It does not register under the XP pro control panel and therefore does not allow me to use the scanner directly with other programs like Office or OCR software.
It also does not allow me to scan double sided, even though it has a feeder mechanism to do so
Can anyone assist me how, eg a new driver, please contact me christoph@reisers.net
Thank You
Christoph
