Thanks David Stowe, and Tim Dolby.
I didnt know I could make the picture bigger, Ive only just figured out that
I can click on the blue writting and get the pictures and have been looking
at whatever first comes up. A lot of squinting. I dont understand a few of
the terms in Davids email about how he viewed the picture--"thumb-nail" for
instance--and have a lot to learn about computers. But I can see a bit more
now I know to click twice. Id just thrown up the kite because thats just
what first came into my head from the first picture, and just for fun to
kick things off which is why I ended my suggestion with a ?.
Quite happy to be wrong and thanks for the computer pointers.
