Flip-Pal Demo by Dear Myrtle

This following video was originally posted on my blog November 15, 2011.

I had fun watching Dear Myrtle demonstrate how to use her new toy, a flip-pal mobile scanner during the 2010 Atlanta Family History Expos.

Hope that the UPS man drops by today with my toy like he did at Julie Cahill Tarr's house. Will post more later about my plans for using this fantastic gift.

I love my portable scanner. I took it with me on my genealogy trip to Norway this past summer.

I asked Santa to bring me one of these for Christmas.

Thanks for posting this video. Since that day, we've used our Flip-Pal scanner a number of times. The hardest thing to do was to scan a small oil painting that belonged to my husband's grandmother. Not wanting to remove it from the frame, we elected to:

1. Place the painting in its frame on a table.
2. Place the Flip-Pal on the frame.
3. Cover the two with a towel (to prevent light from the sides entering into the scan.

And it worked!
