I guess the problem was the size of my photos. My son walked me through how to reduce the size to where this program would accept the images. Thanks for the help gang. I was born in the dark and it was a loooong time ago.

Just a thought. Can you convert them to .pdf and send them that way.

Um, what's a PDF?

Adobe's term for "Portable Document Format."

Here is more than you ever wanted to know:

If you aren't able to create a PDF file now, you can download Open Office for free and use Open Office Writer to export a PDF file.

True, and probably more than I can remember. I think I'll do what I usually do in a situation like this. I'll wait till my oldest comes this weekend and see what he can do;)

Rockler sells a universal dust collector port for 7 bucks

I added one to my old Craftsman table saw, and it works fine with my shop vac.

I would think it would be easy to add to the bandsaw (mine already has a shopsmith elbow port on it, which also works well with the shop vac)

you can order one here [http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=16967&rrt=1] or just visit a Rockler store.
