Ernie Martin is an unknown quantity at this point
Actually, it's even easier. Microsoft Paint, which is bundled with Windows, will do the trick. So you don't have to download anything. You will find the program by clicking on Start, Programs and Accessories. After you open your picture file using Paint, click on Image, Stretch/Skew to size it. When you're done, it's a good idea to "Save As", so that you can save it under a different name, thereby retaining the original (larger) image as well as the new (smaller) image. Tip: if the original was named "airplane", I like to name the new file "airplaneS", so even without opening it I know it's just a smaller version of "airplane".

Please, it's important that you size all the pictures you submit to us. Make it roughly 3/4 the width of your screen. In addition to saving valuable space on our server, it makes viewing the pictures a lot easier. Take one of the bigger pictures above and see how hard it is to get the whole concept. You've got to scroll left, right, up and down to see it all, and even then it's hard to absorb the whole image.

Thanks,
Ernie
