Um they turn up as a single Graphic in Lotus notes
and are embedded rather than attached.

It seems to vary wildly  when emails from the newsletter turn up as to
whether they were
simply dragged into the email or the "paper clip" or similar type symbol
was used to
attach them. One type is actually embedding them, the other way attaches
them.BTW
I'm using Linux with Lotus notes and Lotus notes on Windows as well both
behave
exactly the same way, sorry to disappoint you about OS's. In this it not
relevant.

Also is a single graphic rather than 4 separate ones looking at the base
email it shows
only one graphics not 4 separate ones. It is actually the Higher
Resolution I'm after so
I can zoom in more.

OK I don't use Lotus notes so I don't have a clue. I always
attach the jpgs the same way using Thunderbird. Sometimes I process
them with gimp and sometimes I don't. Perhaps that is the key to
what is going on. I do the scanning with a Windows computer, HP
scanner and  transfer them with a USB 4 gig memory stick. I notice
that Windows cannot read the memory stick if the file is generated
on Linux but Linux can always read the file if generated on Windows.
I am begging to wonder if Microsoft has corrupted the jpg & file
standards some how like they did to HTML and JAVA. A lot of computer
problems would go away if Microsoft self destructed immediately
rather than later :)

Are any of you OSX (Apple Mac Gui on Linux base) having problems?
Are any of you Windows users having problems like this?
I also notice when using m-tools to transfer files that seems
to be more consistent most of the time but there is something
subtle going on there. If you use the same floppy disk over and
over again eventually it fails after a month or two.

Without the source code for Windows these bugs will never be fixed.
I would give up using computers if I had to use the new MS Vista.
I feel real sorry for anybody buying a new computer in the next
ten years that is forced to use MS Vista. It will be highly
bug infested. Computer makers are in for a hard time for
the foreseeable future. Customers won't know if it is
the hardware or the software and the computer maker will
not have the Vista source code to figure it out.

Sorry about the four by pictures but you can load them into
gimp and separate them by cropping them off one by one.
I have a zillion old pictures that I took at air shows before
I got a digital camera. It takes way too long to scan them one
at a time. Not worth it for me.

BTW David do you have Blackberry cell phones in Aus? If so does
it sync with Linux Lotus Notes?

I scan all these old pictures at the same rez or 200 pixels
per inch. If they are wider than 1900 pixels I scale them
down using gimp to 1900 wide max.

Yes I cut them up by using one product or another that's not an issue.
I was after the higher resolution thats all. Sorry I was to get up
real close and personal, I have started using the new model Panasonic
camera ZF-50 I think it is, for its price it is hard to beat to
resolution and function.

Blackberry server software we were unable to get anything that would
run on Linux for the notes server, they were only producing a windows
version the last time we set it up for one of our clients here. They
used it for about 3 months and decided that the blackberries were not
worth the expense and did not add enough business value to warrant the
expense, it got taken out. It did work OK for what it was however, it
is just not enough at this time. Domino/Notes now runs on Linux
extremely well since they released V7 for Linux, we have been running
Notes/Domino on Linux for several years now. It was getting flaky on
Linux in V6.x in the last couple of versions, prior to V7, seems they
fixed the issues, but you have to have 2.6 Kernel to run it on V7 now.
Also runs on 64bit OS Linux without problems we have a Secondary Girls
School in Sydney with 1500 Students and staff on it without any issues
just keep on keeping on we mange it for them from Melbourne including
updates to Domino, we just do it all remotely ETC. The server is a Dual
Opteron 1U Rack Sever 4Gb of Ram spends it life pretty much just
strolling along without ever getting stressed. The Students all use
a web browser and access an "inotes" which is a heavily JAVA based front end
with "Sametime IM" linked in to it, another server is needed for that
part as it is still stuck on Windows, however we know Sametime is getting
closer to being multi platform, so one of these days Sametime will be on
Linux. (Can't wait for that)

You got the right camera David. I bought a FZ30 in NY a year
or so ago for about $500 US. I then went to the Tokyo electronics
center and shopped around. Best I could find there was $720 US.
Here in LA the upscale camera stores won't sell the
Panasonic as it beats Nikon and Cannon for twice or three times
the price. They sell the identical Leica version for $820 US.
Archie has one too. Fantastic camera. I like it a lot better
than any Nikon I ever had.
