[AT] Sideways pictures

[Charlie V]

After sending that reply, Gene, I was wondering if you were referring
to the forum pictures or some the other Charlie may have sent to you.
Other thoughts that passed through my mind were:

Being a Saturday night, you may be lying down when looking at the monitor.

The monitor may be mounted in the portrait position rather than landscape.

Until now, I kept those thoughts to myself because I was not sure if
they would be taken in the humorous light that they were given. Going
one step further, the solution would be to mount the monitor on a
vertical arm and fixed with a ball to allow an easy rotation to match
each situation.

Seriously, I suspect settings but do not really know.  Once in a great
while I receive rotated pictures and wonder why anyone would send them
that way.  Now, maybe I know that they didn't.  Also, I bought and
used an E Machine for about four years.  I was well pleased with it.
