Lately I've been wondering why it is that I can't see your pics.
How long do you usually keep them available for viewing?

You forget two other great ones, boB! Check them out at:

http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/wolffsoft@sbcglobal.net/my_photos

I've never tried this Yahoo Photo stuff out before. So hopefully I have
the URL correct so others can view them. Now pick the album called
"SkinFlicks"... no that was a joke! Really pick "SimSnapShots". If you
want the full size images, I guess you have to download each one.


Cheers!

Why would I want to do that?

I don't get it.

Hi Marcel,

I don't take them down but when ImageShack started loading "Adult" ads I
quit using them.

If it's my web page, let me know and I'll go into it and find out what's
wrong.

A have many directorys there that I haven't listed on the index page,
it's a todo thing. :)

I haven't seen them before. Chucky grew up 70 miles from my hometown.
That doesn't mean doodly-squat and he never even offered me a ride in
the X-15.

I feel I should chime in to say that your images loaded fine for me and at
full size.

Could be. When I look at pictures from your links I only see 1 x 1.5
inch images. I'm pretty sure your not putting them up like that. All
the others links show full sized pictures.

No problem here either -- the small pics come up first, then automatically,
the large pics are displayed a few seconds later.

Well the weird thing is that the shots of Sadie showed up fine, but most
others don't. Any thoughts on this?

Hi Marcel,
Have you tried to download the image to see it. I know, that's a lot of
trouble for some images. Do you have a second browser where you can
load the images? I can recommend Netscape 8.0 beta which is a browser
only, no mail or composer. It has an option to load in IE format.

I copy the strip to a file, and use a photo editor to open them
actual size......

I'm still trying to figure out how you did this. I must have Photo
Editor around here from a scanner or a camera somewhere around here. But
that shouldn't make any difference.


Cheers!

After Explorer brings up the strip, first it usually gives a quick glimse of
maybe the first image full size, then downsizes the entire strip to fit the
screen. I right click on the strip, "save as XXXX.jpg" where ever you want
it. Then open it using Ulead PhotoImpact (like PhotoShop, etc.) and just
tell it to show actual size..

I haven't seen them before.

Both Chuck Yeager and Aces of Aces were excellent flight simulators in
my humble opinion.

Chucky grew up 70 miles from my hometown. That doesn't mean doodly-
squat and he never even offered me a ride in the X-15.

Where did he grow up? In Texas? Chuck's simulator was a lot of fun. My
favorite was the SR-71. As you could zoom straight up in clear blue sky
and then it would turn to outer space with black sky and lots of starts.
Although it was hairy once the forward speed stopped. But still a lot of
fun anyway. <grin>

The worst was the X-1. I can look up the exact quote, but I believe
Chuck claimed he only had flown that one once. And they could never get
him back in that thing again. I probably flown it 3 times and that thing
was almost like being strapped on a rocket. Although a very poorly
maneuverable rocket. It's really scary, even on the simulator.


Cheers!

Oh... I got the impression that you were downloading the whole album is
a single shot. Although it now sounds like you have to download each one
individually like the rest of us do.

Supposedly this is the correct URL:

http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/wolffsoft@sbcglobal.net

But whenever I try it, I get an error that the album has been removed or
two other things. Does this actually work for anybody else?


Cheers!

I am. It's all one looonnngggg .jpg image, just like a strip of film or a
proof strip. When PhotoImpact opens it full size, I just scroll down the
strip... One file...

No second brouwer. I don't think my laptop can take that extra pressure.
It's already multi-tasking as it is.

That's good Matt. Sometimes I get turned backwards. I use 4 different
browsers so don't usually see what happens on each. I use Firefox mainly
with Netscape 8.0 beta second, then Netscape 7.? because AVSIM won't let
me log in with the first 2. Then last IE if what I'm looking at is
geared only for IE.
