A quick right-click of the mouse, and the image is stored safely on my desk top for later personal use. The search feature on E-bay is extremely fast, and the images load quickly on a broadband connection. As a resource for study or background information, E-bay rivals the best educational sites and is much easier to use. Michael Wood, Cincinnati
