[Boatanchors] BAMA

[Larry WA9VRH]

Hi Ron,

I am not sure this will help or fix your issue but everything I have 
uploaded to the BAMA website was done with Adobe 4.0. I used that because 
the scanning software that I use supports the Adobe 4.0 for the conversion 
from TIFF to PDF. You might try installing Adobe 5.0 or something around 
that. I keep getting bombarded with Adobe trying to shove version 8 down my 
throat and I keep resisting. At work version 8 got downloaded automatically 
and we needed to get our I.T. guy to get rid of it so we could work.

Billy Gates thugs downloaded something to this pc that I can't seem to get 
rid of and when I want to send a message I have to select "send later" as 
just plain send it never happens. This kind of stuff just aggravates the 
crap out of me and one of these days the Windows XP will come off this thing 
and I will go back to Win 2000 where I didn't have this issue.

Good luck hope this helps.  Next step will be to a MAC that will be used for 
the outside world and this pc will never see the internet again so I can 
keep things working!
