i posted an image of a pentium processor etching which i thought everyone would know was about Bill Gates - apparently not.

i guess i should ban myself for a week?

this is one of the places i visit during summer, an abandoned island called Ille Fourche. it is right between s.t martin and st. barth's- about a 2 hour sail from each.

for those of you who don't know im a licensed Coast Guard Captain of a 50 ft sailing vessel in the caribbean during summers.

TXBill try this to post your wall paper:

1. Press Print Scrn button.
2. Open Paint
3. Edit paste
4. It will say The image in the clipboard is larger than the bitmap. Would you like the bitmap enlagred? Click Yes.
5. Click Image - from the drop down menu select- Stretch/Scew or press ctrl+W.
6. A window will open- under Stretch change Horizontal and vertical to 40% and click OK.( You can click 50% if you want but the image may be too large to upload)
7. Select the Marquee next to the star on the left hand side and select the picture( your wall paper) Click edit and select copy.
8. Select File new. A pop up window will appear. Select no.
9. Select Edit- paste. A popup windoiw will appear saying The image in the clipboard............. Select Yes.
10. Click File save as 24 Bit map. And you should be done. The image size will be around 370K.
I hope this helps.
