The Gord room here is packed with stuff and these items are filed away as
"undesirable items."

Unfortunately Ron has attached not actual image files but a
pair of pdf files that each contains the image he wants to bring to our attention
I think Ron uses an Apple product and I have had previous experience of an Apple user (Brian Walters in UK) trying to send me an image by email that also arrived as a pdf file
This was in that case an unwanted complication and when I expressed surprise Brian explained that was how an Apple treated image attachments or something to that effect.
(One more reason why personally I detest Apple computers and their unecessary aberations)
Although all users should be able to open a pdf one way or another and see those 2 images
they will then find that unlike images displayed on a web page it is not possible to simply right click on it and "save picture as", because Adobe's PdF system does not easily cater to any such fundamemntal meddling with their precious products
instead for Wndows users there are two workarounds
1 make a screenshot
If you have Windows 7 or 8 you could use the built in Snippng Tool
or any other screen grabbing program at your disposal
(I would by preference use my favourite Gadwin Printscreen)
Otherwise the simplest way to do that is press your Printscreen key (if your computer has one that is)
That will make a full screenshot of the entire display area
then open Windows Paint and paste the screenshot in
then use it's rectangular area selection tool to select the area of the image then crop it
then save the cropped image
adjusting the overall size if necessary
the resulting images can then be uploaded to one of the many online facilities for storing images
(think imageshack.us., photobucket, Flickr and even Facebook)
or my new favourite cloud facilities
Dropbox.OneDrive or GoogleDrive
Once there one way or another gets its internet address (a.k.a. its URL)
Then use the URL and corfid's built in image insert tool to easily display the image here
2 Alternatively extract the image from the pdf, which I admit is unecessarily much easier said than done in fact
I now use the non free PDF viewer Nitro in preference to my previous use of the very nice and completely free Foxit software because Nitro has the ability to
"convert your PDF files into individual image files"
which I did enlarging them both by using Paint as an image editor
Here is the letter that Ron sent to request the removal of a picture of himself (the Gord clone) as it was not actually a picture of Gord
Here is Ron's stunning "rogue" picture
