Yeah, but you're on the board.

I think you are about where I am.

Blacken the print you want to save by holding down the left button side of the mouse and scraping the mouse down along the side of your desk. This should darken the print you want to save. Then copy it by pushing CTRL C (now its hiding in your notebook). Bring up your Work Perfect blank page and paste it by pushing CTRL V, and then roll down the font above to around 25, 26, or so to see what you have copied and pasted.

Meanwhile, I'm going to have to go outside the board to Duane to find out what equipment is required to see where I am and where I'm going. I haven't a clue about what stuff he's talking about. Too many abbreviations and contraptions I'm not familiar with.

Some folks really have a time trying to follow him.

I gave up on trying. Try cutting and pasting into MS Word and printing from there. 8)

There is a modification I can make to the board which will allow for easier printing of posts. When I have some extra time (not for another 10 days at least!) I'll try to implement it. In the meantime copying and pasting might be your best bet.

If you're having trouble reading the text on the screen, you can try using a better web browser than Internet Explorer. I recommend Mozilla (Click Here To Download). It's free, has built-in pop-up blocking, email with spam filtering, and the ability to easily increase or decrease the font sizes on web pages. Using Mozilla you can use keyboard shortcuts or map the mouse wheel (with a modifier of your choice - ctrl, alt, etc.) to increase or decrease the font size whenever text is difficult to read.
