Oops... anti-Synchronicity event -
(Oooh and I called it an abortion :(
Oh well -

My e-Machine:
Moz 1.7.8. Win 98SE, massaged on Install via 'Lite'.
ie dejunked of the load of "M$ paid-pals refs", AOL, and other bloat.
Only the stub of the ineradicable IE left in - no other parts are even on the HD. (Sys Info 'reports' IE 5 5.00.2614.3500, as normal install then.. would have had)

No changes to basics in many moons.
No sign of oddities other than periodic, usually- msvcrt.dll Moz. crashes = which reports I dutifully auto-send-in.

re Screenie as would save a lot of words here - see below.
OK - nuked cache, ran newest Spybot of 8-4 [clean], rebooted for one more check before reporting. Verbal description then, for now:

With clean cache - same.
Loading starts out white bkg, then the blue-shading appears at top and proceeds... down the page "slat by slat" as various boxes also fill-in. I suppose that intended is:
the blue shade bar should cease at the top, where the Amaz. tabs appear and [Book] is the selected tab. First line right below the tabs contains,
"Search | Browse Subjects | ... | Textbooks |"
The graphic of the book cover overlaps this first shaded slat by about 1/3 of its height.

Larger text sub-heads are in burnt?-Orange, as contrasts OK with the blue.
But the sub-subs vary in font-size and, bold or /bold ie
The smallest fonts - I'd call them agate size type - as land over the darker shading: are near-illegible to moi.

Despite size, I think I could read it all - on white bkg. as apparently intended.
I note also: a horiz scrollbar appears, with only a quite short range, say 4% of the width, via a ruler = not a problem for viewing, just a detail.
(And maybe artifact of my not-so std. 1152 x 864 screen res. 32K-bit color w/ 19" Trinitron)
The mouse-over 3 views works fine; natch That graphic-text is miniscule!

Now onto Screenie matters.
When I can get a util.. see:

My 'graphics' has been limited to pix as for eBay and a few others, jpg-'d then ftp-'d to my ISP = now a couple years back. No Photo Shop manipulations, but a few lesser programs for rotation, trimming, picking compression for target size.

Clearly PRINT SCREEN doesn't produce a capture of my current screen, presumably for lack of (what I now see is) oodles of Print Screen aps available just on Googles's list. Methinks this might be a hairy file sans any clipboard extensions of this sort. I'd spend a couple bucks for this occasionally useful capability, in any case. Wary of "Download.com" and places that hint of being frequented by dO0dz - always a guess, that.

So will check with a friend (tomorrow) who likes to audition more than I do, for a recommendation re capture; maybe also try it at <= 256 colors - as just may work on the Billy-grade doubtless-crippled kluge.

If screenie is got - see no way to attach anything to the handy Comments box; I gather you meant that 'tobl' at top of any replies gets sent to you. As to e-mail w/attachment - unclear what that addy would be - unless it is: to_l @ BigStrongWoman.com


Ashton

Which means on dialup .. best send it only once, y'know?

Let's get this addy thing Right. I grok the 4-char@
but the addy of this display-site is pretty Different; guess I don't see how, initially I might have deduced this one ;-)

Will do verbatim what you wrote, subbing that Am-name sans ()
and give it a whirl, shortly

(I'd forgotten that a Paint-like translator is needed to generate even a bloody .bmp.) Thanks, Greg. Pity that Paint is jpg-less.

Noted also that a copy of PhotoDeluxe, allowed on reluctantly.. doesn't do .bmp --> .jpg {sigh}
I've particularly eschewed allowing most 'graphics' programs on, as these seem to stress the walk/chew-gum-not capabilities of this tinkertoy. Worked so far.

Ah well, let's see if it arrives. Sent: 15:53 hours.

moi

Resent 15:20 hours.

Must be something about boats ;-)
e-mail overboard, Cap'n!
Throw it a dinghy!!

(As replied in e-mail - if that gets through LookOut)

FILTERS; precisely: 'script'. :-(
No excuse (here) - should have reloaded a number of times, from naked to all-on, especially after learning that it was Yours .^.. couldn't be a mere POS.
(Ackshully I thought Scripts wasn't checked - as that is the mode for https and any $ things. I just didn't think to verify, like any other ninny.

Migawd! even you GODS cannot bend Outlook to your will?
Mayhap it croaks more often on 3 MB attachments? - well, one got through.

Maybe a better work-around for the ninny caste shall emerge, at the least.



Dumbth-R-moi some days.
When that gets to be Many - off to a Nunnery.

But initially, I'd surmised that so-simple an addy as That Is -
would be a lot like ... sam@IBM, shrub@us.gov

AND . . . THE FUCKER *DID* GET LOST,

so
