Well fiddle, I did this painting (in PSP of course) and then went and reduced it too small to see the effect.

OK so I came back today to do a rant about the W32 sober thing. I came back here after lunch, had not even opened mail and here is a Norton alert. Trying to determine what email may have carried it found no help whatever. I have one lady that does nothing but forward stuff and feels because she hasn't gotten anything (her husband keeps her virus stuff updated) that she can't pass anything on.  I'm not so sure that is true. I have asked her not to forward me stuff. She won't take time to copy/paste anything!

I did the download of the fix, I disabled System Restore as instructed, I unplugged from the net, closed all applications and ran the fix. That took some time so I just worked at a shelf in my office that has needed attention for ... at least a year. It finished and said I didn't have the thing on my computer!! Earlier a virus scan kept saying I did have it.

Again I followed instructions, shut down ran it again, same message. Ran virus scan again and it showed no virus this time.  What gives? Did I have it or not?

I keep my antivirus up to date, and the firewall and Microsoft updates, so how did this happen?  Really ruined my afternoon I'll tell ya.

So this evening I went outside to take pictures. My night blooming cactus in the back yard is going to bloom this year! I've had it at least 3 years and it never has.

See!  So for the next few mornings I need to run out before the sun comes up!

(used the macro setting, something new for me to learn)

Both of these pictures are amazing but that cactus... WOW! Isn't it exciting!!? This is a great photo and what a beautiful plant.

Funny how comptuer situations can just take the wind out of a day. Why is that? Well, it probably is with a lot of those things we just have fun with.

I hope you have a wonderful day today

I have a friend who forwards me things like that--she never does cut and paste so its been sent 500 times-and my norton stops half of them and detects virus's-and deletes them--when i tell her she gets mad at me and says-"My" pc must be messed up. So I just stopped telling her and delete anything from her with an attachment. Your new camera is really a good one--the pictures are real clear and nice.

Yep, you sure did reduce it too much. As for the virus thing I guess it's a big deal in the other operating system's world. We don't have much with which to concern ourselves here in Maclandia.
