I got an old chart and need to scan it into a scanner.
the chart size is in 11" by 15" size paper.
any good scanner to recommend? at this time I try to find something on eBay.com.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Ah, Bach ...
If you want to "pimp it up" a bit, I'd suggest Wendy Carlos "Switched on Bach". There seems to be a terrible YouTube video labeled "Switched on Bach (midi)", which should be avoided. Instead try the sample here: Switched-On Bach - Wikipedia

Yes. Although if you'd asked where it came from, I couldn't tell you. Thanks for reminding me.

When you're done be sure to Bach up your work.
If you can't find time to do it right the first time, how are you going to find time to do it again?

Yes, this is extraordinary quality, but  ... my brain seems not comfortable with any kind of distraction while coding, reading, writing, ... In my case, the best option is complete silence in my work environment . However, while driving or taking a break, I can appreciate some good tracks, including classics like Bach ...

While programming (and almost constantly) I listen to instuMENTAL jazz -- no words or I skip the track.
I have a paid pandora account (no commercials) that plays all manner of smooth jazz like:
I think jazz musicians are innovative and amazing.
Spyro Gyra
Euge Groove
3rd Force
Fattburger
Kim Waters
The Rippingtons
Peter White
Jeff Lorber
Fourplay
Chris Standring
Ray Obiedo
Dave Koz
Candy Dulfer
Rick Braun
Ronny Jordan
Acoustic Alchemy
Larry Carlton
Paul Hardcastle
and many, many more.
I started listening to Spyro Gyra suggested to me by a college room-mate in 1985 and was hooked. If you listen to that original album from Spyro Gyra Catching the Sun[^], you'll probably be convinced to listen too. 
and, I've tried classical music and I love some good classical, but the dynamics are so immense that at times you can't hear it and then other times it's cannons going off so I stick with jazz.

Gotos are frowned on. You should not use gotos. Long live gotos.
Until someone comes up with a better/faster/concise way of expressing the following DFA state machine (presented in part) I will continue to defend the use of gotos, even if their use cases have gotten significantly more narrow as progress has marched on.
When you need them, there is no better tool.

Most developers know goto statements are "bad" but very few know why or have even read Dijkstra's letter in CACM. And I'm willing to bet most developers haven't heard of the ACM. 
goto statements that target entry into a block (as you could do in older versions of Fortran and Basic) are frowned upon because they make automated program verification impossible - aka "I can't say with certainty how you got here". Well behaved goto statements are not only fine, you couldn't write code without them.
To make it harder for novice programmers to misuse the goto statement, many languages such as C, C++, Java and C# (and many others) have created statements that implement well behaved goto's. They are:break - goto the end of a switch or terminate the closest enclosing iteration statement
continue - start a new iteration of the closest enclosing iteration statement
return - exit the function in which it appears and return to the caller
And most (I suspect all) modern compilers won't allow specifying the target of a goto into another block. So use goto's, but use them the way nature intended.

Not exactly sure what you mean here, but C/C++ certainly allows you to goto into a contained block, or to a label in another code block within the same containing block e.g.
void f(int n)
{
if(n > 1)
goto foo;
if( ... )
{
if ( ... )
goto foo; }
if( ... )
{
foo:
}
} Will compile just fine. You can get a warnings if you have an initialization before label foo, with the right warning options (gcc/clang, at least), but a quick perusal of the warning options doesn't seem to suggest that there's a warning for a goto int a contained block.
But maybe you meant that you can't jump from one block to another, like
void foo()
{
foo_label:
}
void bar()
{
goto foo_label; } But for that you have setjmp/longjmp, which, of course, should be avoided like the plague.

Thanks for the correction. The C# compiler doesn't permit that.

C++ is painfully permissive at times, but not nearly so bad as C.  C# brought a bit of sense to the mess, even if it sacrifices the ability to do some of the black magic.

One of my professors was the GOTO person for many of us students, in terms of resolving technical doubts and even giving career advice.
We need more such GOTOs, i feel.

If I were given the responsibility for a state machine implementation like that, I would immediately run to my boss asking for permission to rewrite the whole thing as a table driven machine.
There is no way, with code like that, that I could guarantee that all inputs/events are properly handled in all cases (or given the proper error treatment). I would have to make a huge effort if I were to report a complete set of normal (non-error) ways to go from a given state to another, and which inputs/events would lead to which error states.
I've never written any CP article, but code like this makes my fingers itch to compose an article about proper table driven state machine implementation! Maybe I some day get around to do it
