Anything's possible, though not that likely. :-) I think we would need to know a lot about the scanner's set up to assume that a slightly higher electrical charge in the air would affect it that much. I know I probably get worse results when it is rainy, but that is because I'm less of a person on rainy days. LOL I just don't feel happy enough to do my best. Lightning storms can really be a problem, because every time there is a loud crack of thunder I probably jump a little and move the book a tiny bit. I also might be thinking so hard about whether I should risk keeping my computer on in a storm that I am nervous and inattentive. I would have oh so much irreplaceable equipment, and possibly data, to lose if there was a damaging power surge!
