I need a computer genius!
A friend sent me an e-mail that I found to be very funny. I wanted to post it here but I'm unable to copy or save the picture that's in the file. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I might accomplish this? Or is anyone willing to have it forwarded to them so they can give it a shot?

Thanks in advance.

Will

1. hmm

You could do a screen grab and then post it to flickr (or whatever photo sharing site), and then to DU. or you could google search for keywords from the email and see if it's anywhere on the web. You could copy and paste the text of the email, and then search and find the picture and link it here.

2. The picture
Is apparently embedded in the mail and I'm not able to save it or copy it. The file has an .htm attached that I've tried to edit with no success. And, it is seemingly listed as a temp file from someone's computer.

4. If you use a mac, I have a great program that will let you do easy
screen grabbing and editing. It's called Skitch and it is free. I love it and use it daily!

5. Right click the pic and SAVE it as a pic in your pic folder...
Then upload it to your FREE www.photobucket.com account and then

USE the DIRECT LINK from photobucket and paste it in your post!

You should be able to right-click this and select "copy image location"
to paste it into your post:

7. 1. Save the picture to your desktop.
2. Go to http://www.tinypic.com and upload the picture.
3. Copy the url link. There will be three choices there. You just want the one that starts with "http" for posting pictures on DU.
4. Copy the text of the email into a post here.
5. Copy the url for the picture into the same spot where it was in the email.
6. Post.
