Query: slow & noisy with basic software

I replaced a 5+ year old Acer which bit the dust, and am I sorry it did. Pluses: The Epson can scan slides and negatives; can scan multiple pix and "separate" them. Minuses: You press the 'copy' button, and again, and again, cuz you think nothing's happening - then 18 seconds after you pressed it the first time the copy program pops onto the screen (and I have 3Ghz with 1MB RAM)! My wife often crops and resizes her scans, which was a breeze with the software that came with my Acer, but torture with Epson's. She would also 'tile' a portion of a scan to make multiple copies on one page, which the supplied software can't do. And it's twice as noisy and half the speed as my old one with comparable resolution. The price was ok, but now I have to buy third party software to do fairly basic stuff.Needless to say, considering Epson is a big name, and I thought a 5 year newer scanner would be quieter and faster, with good software, I was terribly disappointed.
