TECHNICAL NOTES-Dan Solway helped me get started and your Editor is adding pages on a regular basis. We have also found that the 'ThumbsPlus 5 Program' is an invaluable tool for transferring pics to NS Composer  and re-sizing, saving about 50% of posting time. It is understood that most people prefer 'ACDSee' for Pic organization and photographic maintenance but we beg to differ. Some of the recent Pics on this site are shot with Roy's Sony Cyber Shot Digital Camera. Some of the others were shot with my own Fuji 2600 Digital Camera, However the Fuji was retired in early 2006 and I now use a little gem, Panasonic LS70.
        For all of the vintage shots I have used the Epson 1250 Scanner and even some were garnered from negatives a feature that this Scanner does quite well and I recommend it for this and other basic scanning needs.  Netscape and FTP are utilized for posting and I have tried to reduce resolution of all Pics for quicker down load times for our viewers that do not  have high speed. As with most WebSites click on the thumb nails for enlargements.
