    Annual, of course, meaning whenever the hell it's been long enough.
    Anyways, to take a screenie, press Print Screen (or it's variations, Prt. Scr. or whatever) next to F12 to capture a screenshot to your clipboard. Load up a graphics program (Photoshop, Paint, etc.) and paste it. Voila!

    I'll post mine as soon as I can upload it. Host is being screwy.

    in addition to Iron Mc's directions, you can also paste the picture into a word type program and create a document

    In honor of the just-completed Tour de France. I'll probably go back to a plain desktop in the next month or so, though.

    Okay, I give. How do you insert an image? I mean a regular ol' jpg? Do I have to have a web site to make this work?

    yes, you will need somewhere to host your image in order to display it.

    tripod, yahoo and geocities are all out of the question. they don't allow linking to images...

    good luck

    rH,

    That was the very game! I remember that it looked like all hell was going to break loose from the SW on the way there...

    Was it only 15 mins? I just remember they kept resetting the pre-game shotclock over and over...it was messing with my head.

    You've got a pretty good memory for someone with your namesake! :D
