I thought my friend was recommending the Hammacher Schlemmer photo converter
“Hammacher Schlemmer.” Has there ever been a manufacturer whose name sounded more like the slimy contents of a used handkerchief? We sure hope not. Because we’ll probably end up with some of their inventory. We’re imagining the Blackhawk & Gob line of stereo cabinets, Viscous Loogie brand hair gel, or mp3 players by Phlegmmy Hackenkoff.
Revolting-sounding name aside, there are much worse ways to digitize your printed photo archives. Which, seriously, you have to do. Otherwise how are your grim-looking, sepia-tinted ancestors going to have Facebook accounts? I BET WE CAN FIND ONE MILLION PEOPLE WHO LIKE THIS PICTURE OF A STERN-LOOKING OSTEOMALACIAC GUY WHO’S EITHER MY GREAT-GREAT GRANDFATHER OR UNCLE OR SOMETHING, I FORGET.
