Apple, no problems at all, ever. Jerry
Thanks Jerry.
I would not really expect it to be so since Apple is running
Linux underneath OS-X.
Hi Paul,
I'm on windows XP and the box stock internet explorer. When you attach
pix they come as a thumbnail and paperclip. A click on the thumbnail
brings it to full size but with poor resolution ( I thought this was
something my ISP's dial-up accelerator was doing) Anyway, if it looks
interesting, I save it to a floppy and open it with a photo program and
the the resolution is fine. This method may help the other
David. Dave Mix
I use XP and Outlook Express. Pix are integrated at the end of the text and
appear under the paperclip as attachments.
Can save them directly to disk, then pick them up with Adobe Photoshop V5.
Usually look great in Photoshop.
