Well, thanks to Jenni I know what I need to do now with my Skype images. I've written the letter to my dad (in extra large font) explaining the benefits of installing Skype, I think he'll be won over as soon as I mention it's free! I've inserted the images I wanted to use to make it a little easier for him to follow the instructions and now all that's left to do is tweak it abit.
I'm now looking at downloading images for my recipes from flicr, as I couldn't download from taste.com. This left me a little frustrated, so now I'm looking at images from google. I've managed to use printscreen shot again, cut and paste into paint and then realised after I've cropped it what am I going to paste it into? Durh.. will spend sometime thinking about that one and will get back to you. :)
