In message [EMAIL PROTECTED], Dilwyn Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes taking the picture as is was taken using Urs Digital camera, which was quite unique in that it took 3.5 floppies - yes, floppies in the camera :-( Floppies in a camera??? Must be Swiss or something :-) Seriously, 1.4MB and the weight of a disk drive :-( The Sony Mavica has that feature, quite an expensive model. Although the internal disc drive does not add much to the weight of the camera ... still lighter than an SLR. We use them in education quite a lot, as they provide a useful way of getting image information from a digital camera to a computer - no need for cables and special software, etc. Ideal for the QL too.

Re: [ql-users] Rogue page (plus some teasers re QWord)
Now there you should *REALLY* be using PNGs which are far better than GIFs (and they're not covered by an insane Patent either) As for your scanner it's because you failed to Deposit 1 into the slot to your right. Funds will be wired directly to Digital Precision Ltd. offshore accounts - Fear not, no record of the transaction will ever exist ;-) In all seriousness now... he couldn't be that bad now could he? Oh yes, I forgot about PNGs, yes I could use them too. As for scanning Freddy's picture...he probably did as much damage to my scanner as to my phone bill when we talked years ago in DP/DJC days ;-)) (Only joking of course) The real reason for the failure of my scanner (you can tell I was up half the night with this, about the only time round here when my nuisance DIY neighbour isn't banging hammering and drilling something and I can actually *CONCENTRATE*) was the fact that the arms on which the scanner head moves had gone dry and dirty, so the gear mechanism (little plastic cogs and a belt like a caterpiller track) were slipping. Stole some of my wife's Vaseline (she uses it for dry lips in case anyone asks) and gently cleaned and lubricated the tracks and it's now able to scan about 2/3 of an A4 page until it gets to the part of one cog where a tooth has broken off then the scan head stops or slips out of sync. Look out guys...found some more pics. And after judicious application of Tony Tebby's chemistry set, came up with an alternative picture of him...patience! Fear grips the QL community...an evil person is on the loose...whose picture will appear on the Rogues Gallery next :-) (OK, at least it stirred up some discussion and created a little bit of fun!) -- Dilwyn Jones

The honest answer is that some of them are clipped from larger pictures and I don't have the originals in many cases, so they probably don't exist, or are in the hands of publishers when I used to send the photos in to editors before I got a scanner.
