Thanks I realised you see that the message I had sent to the list was composed of Tony Berry telling the scanner wouldn't blow up in spite of the rattle and my reply to Tony and that to you with note thus three emails and you were all burdened with the symbols. I will not fiddle with the Punctuation for now as I am using the laptop until the Jaws upgrade arrives Tony takes the tower away to do whatever set it maybe set up in a difficult way something to do with Administrator. I have been trying to understand things I read about resolution as I read previous questions I know this is fatal as one should stick to one topic at a time. I have never understood information about resolution. I was listening to one my tapes from TNAUK called computer active you see, it said the following about bits. it said that 16 bit was something like 65,000 well a good many thousands in colours, colour is resolution isn't it? Then it said 32 bit measured coloured in Billions! I know the spectrum of colours must many but millions? Millions on my computer screen? I know I should give reading the darn thing learn the basics so if it is a tedious question do not feel bad about telling me to concentrate on the basics. Maybe I am mixing up Resolution and Bits?Thanks so much for your patience.Dorothy. Ps Phil I am still trying to digest the four pages I printed out on the volume control question a few weeks back the question was the easy part understanding the answer not so simple. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
