    3. This relates to your excursions into databases about your research. Do you have a program something like "SnagIt"? When you have anything on your monitor which you would like to remember - there are programs which can capture that image. What you see might be an application's error message, or a request which you are sending to a web-site that is not a normal e-mail, etc. This type of "snapshot" program can take a picture of all or any part of the screen and convert it to a JPG with a name you choose and place it in a special folder. I just used it to document some ancestors' information from the Chicago City Directory of 1928. I blew up the images to 200 and 300 percent and saved them for e-mailing to my cousins and siblings. It is a wonderful tool for many things... In the past I've used the "Print Screen" key and saved the data to Word, but it captures the entire screen only and takes up an enormous amount of space compared to a JPG. Best Wishes, Dave Witthans
