hrrmph Patti methinks that you are too easily defeated !!
If I understand you correctly all you basically want to do is show your mother a photograph to prove that you were not an idiot in your youth,
What you ideally need now is a small supplementary internet capable device be it a notebook, netbook smartphone or whathaveyou that you can take with you when visiting your mother
Failing that luxury, just think back to your youth (if you can bear it) to an age when you did not have a computer and its peripherals
You would have produced copy or even a photocopy of the photo as a standalone piece of paper to show her right??
If you have a computer and a printer and quite possibly some paper (glossy preferably) and ink,you can simply print out the picture for her as evidence of your sanity
If you find the address of the desired picture in this case the smiley faced jumbo 747 which is at:-
http://bp0.blogger.com/_SA5flV_tb-E/...400/plane5.jpg
Then paste that address into your browser's address bar
Then click on the file menu


select print preview
then from the preview screen select print
whoopeee
However if you want to show her the complete thread you could make a screenshot of it or of parts of it using the idiot proof procedures I so delightfully describe in my absolutely outstanding screenshots tutorial at:-
http://www.johnfowles.org.uk/Tutoria...s_tutorial.htm


OK I know that it is long and detailed but the two key things to note are

1. Gadwin Printscreen easily lets you select a small area to grab as a screenshot

1. 
   but this thread is spread over two very long pages; (in HTML there being no effective limit to the length of an individual webpage) but if you use the print preview facility whilst the thread is open you will find that to print it all out would take
   all of 33 sheets of paper for the two pages of text and pictures, almost certainly too much for your purposes,
2. Alternatively on my tutorial scroll down to the green text headed "Fireshot" section
   where Fireshot is a most useful freebie for capturing the whole of a longer page rather than just what you can see without scrolling

Any questions anybody??
