Dear Mark,
You are not the first, and will not be the last to clog mailboxes and be
reproved. 
Rise above it and stick around; apart from a touch of techiness we're a
good bunch, and usually kind to newbies. 
When my scanner was new, I was a menace ... it happens to all of us. 
It's a lovely photo, and I hope you do a web page and share more of them
with us. 
And yes, the file took five minutes to load, during which time ... well,
never mind. It's a pretty butterfly.
Welcome
Anne Kilmer
