I'm trying to find the best way to post this, so hope it works. Cathy Byron sent this e-mail to me, and it's such a classic that we decided to try to post it here. I can't paste the pictures, so will have to do them one by one as an attachment. Sorry for the length, but it's the pictures that make this so good......

Will try again later....

Sorry guy's, I can't get this to work. The picture images are saved as Bitmaps, so I can't attach them here. I'll see if I can manipulate them into JPEG, and will try again. Check back later!!

If anybody is curious about what Julie is talking about, e-mail me and I'll forward the e-mail to you. It's all classics from our childhood. Get ready to say "I had that!"

Julie,

Assuming you are using Windows XP - open the bitmap using MS Paint. Then just Save As a .jpg

Hey Hey now....I'm no geek. Maybe a little nerdy, but no geek!!
:roll: :D

Thanks for the tip, though, John. I'll see what I can do!! Took me forever to find Paint, but I got it!! Doing this from work, of course, so wasn't sure what I had out there. I live in a world of "Medtron"....don't know much else! :oops:
