Dude, I just love that icon under your name. Did you make that yourself?

Hi Tony,
I've had a collection of clip art on CD laying around here forever, and was looking through it the other day and saw that this one sorta kinda resembles the good ol' HSX-109...Not exactly, but what the heck.....I guess I could substitute a photo of my own Central with the external hard drive, maybe I will someday....Thanks, Randy

Hey, just noticed it's a Windows Metafile. Interesting how IE will display it just fine, didn't know you could do that. How much you wanna bet Netscape won't display it?

Thanks for the head's up, I learn something new everyday (I didn't know about Netscape and .wmf files)....I used Netscape to look at my old posts and you were right (the photo wouldn't display)...So I converted the file to a .jpg...We'll see how that works...Randy

I tried to email the seller about it but they haven't responded yet. I wonder what the reserve is set for.

Better to convert it to a GIF. Preserves the transparent background.

Let me be the first to welcome you!

Did you get it for the final bid price of $810? If so, that's a pretty sweet deal.
