"What did you finally wind up getting?" Well, I ended up getting a Husky open topped tool carrier to try. Size wise, it will have to be tucked inna different spot. My day started off cleaning up the wood shop and my next mission is to take my "cleaned" tools and see what happens. Very skeptical. When I did something similar before, I took a big Stanley tote and totally adapted it. Well, almost. the things I did to it reinforced and allowed it to be organized quite well. The plastic handle would lift alot- let's say a 3 beer case rating. But push down off the handle as you get up once and... So, my thought would be to make one out of cabinet steel. Gives me an excuse to play with the wire feed and cutter I picket up last winter and do something creative for a change. We'll see.... Here is a link that might be useful: Agent orange

Lee... I sent off my e-mail to Maureen before I saw that you'd be interested in the way I do Print Screen. I also used to save and paste into Irfanview until Wolf showed me a little German program he used. It saves you having to paste each time you save a screenshot and it is so easy to then save a series of screenshots one after the other. Here's the letter and explanation I sent to Maureen: I have been using a little German program called "Snapsaver" for an easy print screen function. The icon sits down in my tray at screen bottom and I call it up when I need it. With just two clicks, - one to call up the program and the next one to save the screen - it takes a screen copy and saves it to a predetermined folder where I keep all screenshots, so that eliminates having to cut and paste a screen each time you do a print screen. It will take as many shots as you like, just as long as you press the 'print screen' button, and then after a long pause it turns off until you click the icon to 'wake it up' again. Here is one download site at the link below .....I think all commands are in English but I'll go back and check as I see this page is in German. Usually after taking a screenshot I go to the saved snap in the snaps folder and use my resident default pictureviewer and cropper program (VuePrint) - and crop out any unnecessary edges from the screen capture and resize the page to around 800 x 600, which all together sharpens the image and clarifies any blurry text, then I save the cropped image into one of my photo files. VuePrint is an old program and costs very little I think I paid $40...from Hamrick Software and it is so transparent, yet wonderful as it sits there in the background without being noticed but as soon as I bring up a photo, it will crop and zoom in or out, resize, flip over or mirror image a photo. I think you can still download a test version of that program before paying anything. I just noticed that Hamrick's website is promoting his scanning program (VueScan) but at the top centre there is a link to VuePrint. This is such a neat little program! I'm happy to answer any further questions :-). SharonCb Here is a link that might be useful: Snapsaver Download Site

there is 3 ways to do what you want. Dhtml, Java scripts, and plain old gif animations. See some text animation DHTML here. Dynamic Drive Java Scripts you can look at here. A1 Java scripts As for gif animations, the problem with them is the large file sizes. They can be made with programs like Paint Shop Pro's Animation Shop, but it will take a while to do this as each movement of the text you will have to change the picture and save each change as a new copy of the text picture. Then you use animation Shop to make the ani. Hope this helps JamesS

How old is your dd, Lyfia? I am assuming 10-11ish? If so...I think you are spot on with what you are currently doing. Do be prepared...in the next couple of years, more and more of her friends will be getting phones. Eventually it will get to the point where, even though you are making a wise parenting choice...your child will actually become somewhat socially isolated. It seems ridiculous, and if someone had told me that when my oldest was 10, I would have been like, “So? My family, my rules.” But it’s not just the kids you don’t want them hanging around that get phones...the “nice” kids get them too. You child will inadvertently get left out of things...and might become resentful. I have a friend who is a wonderful parent, and she really wanted to hold off on the phone until High School. It was getting stupid...her kid’s friends would have to send her separate texts to inform her son about plans. She’d have to relay the info to him...things would get missed, it was very awkward. I know a lot of folks on this forum have adult children and think the answer is “no phone, period!” but in our technological world...that is not a realistic option. It is literally how teens AND adults communicate. It is a tool that needs to be managed and it sounds like you are on the right path.
