Behavioral Troubles with the Beast

I'm still finishing up 1944 and have around 6 images left to edit before I process the 25 re-scanned pages through ABBYY. I encountered some trouble with the Beast today, specifically the BookDrive software, which significantly slowed the procedure. SanJuana informed me it had been acting pretty slow when she used it earlier this week as well. The cameras kept stalling and weren't actually capturing any images so rather than restarting the computer and trying again I just used Feynman. I forgot that I need to clean the platten on the Beast so if I get to that this week I'll try running the software again as well in order to establish if the glitches I experienced today were just a one-time problem.

  1. Rebooting the computer to see if that helps. If this fails to improve the performance I will install a newer version of the software that is now available.
