Nice to know it works for someone. Yes, it sometimes ends up in a loop if I do something "funny". (But I guess error handling during _enroll_ is not that critical :-). > Some outputs from thinkfinger follow. Thanks. One more question: Does someone still have original Windoze that came with x60? I think I've seen their software showing me my own fingerprints. Can someone confirm/deny that? Getting pictures of finterprints would be nice -- we would not have to rely on proprietary fingerprint format only known to scanner vendor...
