Hey Dave, You can't post .bmp images to web-based bbs'es. To view them, a person has to download it and look at it in Windows Paint.

Scab/save the image as a .gif or .jpg, and it should post and appear in the bbs just fine. Same goes for web pages--if you upload the image as a .gif or .jpg, it will be visible on all browsers, .bmp will not.

Just my $0.02 Shawn

Check out Lview Pro, a pretty decent shareware image editing software that will let you change file formats.
: in my building adventures I ussualy just duct tape the hose from my shop vac
: right next the the blade or sanding surface of whatever tool I'm using. it
: picks up most of the dust... if you can do your sanding with one hand free
: hold the end of your shop vac VERY close to where you are sanding and move
: it around to try and catch as much dust as possible. also if you wet the
: walls and the floor it will keep the dust out of the air.

: what could be interesting to keep smells down is to build a plastic
: "room" out of cheep 1X1'z and plast sheeting. you could leave
: oine end loose and have it be hinged so it would break down into smaller
: parts. you could even mount an exaust fan/hose that you could just leave
: running out a window.

: just a few thoughts
