[AT] Sideways pictures

[Gene Dotson]

    Charlie;
    Yes I was referring to the combine pictures. Charlie V said they came 
through to him in vertical and to mine they were horizontal. I am sure that 
you sent them in the proper orientation and my system oriented them for best 
display on my monitor. I am still new to this monitor and will have to check 
out the portrait versus landscape settings.

    I do thank you for taking the effort to find this information. I have 
tried at times before to identify it and now we know what it was.

    I always take anything on here very lighthearted and unless I am flamed 
personally I take no offense. Sometimes you have to read a message 1 or 2 
times to realize it was sent tongue-in-cheek. Sometimes have to agree to 
disagree good naturedly. Many times just let it go without a comment.

                    Gene

    P.S. I did try to stand my monitor on its side to try to read them, but 
couldn't control the mouse to align the articles.

                G.D.
