    Greetings...I'm on a MacBookAir, and want to add a link in the text to a page on ebay, so you can click on it and bingo.

    How do I do that? I've tried everything, but I'm not a computer guy so a reply saying that I should 'format' it, or some such,

    means nothing to me....I'm used to just dragging and dropping, and that's that.

    I got round the .49Mb picture limit by always emailing the pictures to myself, with the file size on medium.....

    regards

    Blake

    If someone turned up at the stock exchange and chucked £50 on a wild card, knowing nothing about stocks and shares, we’d most definitely call him a fool!

     

     

           I resemble that remark!!

    I'll put up some more- my friend died at 97 and I'm helping her family have a sort out.

    If any are wanted, I'll take offers- say, one week and then I'll see who's offered what...I'm a penny man, so silver values are an unknown.

    Shall I do a running count? I'm not getting a penny of this- I'll ask for payment into her daughter's account,

    if that's all right. Any suggestions?

    I have more to put up if it all goes well..

    I've been wondering about this one....

    It was the second finest in the CGS Population Report,

    and it was noted that no examples were in the Alderley or Norweb collections.

    I think it's a Type 5, but I'm not sure.....

    It was tricky to get the pictures in focus enough to see the finer detail.

    Will the edge knocks detract from its value?

    I don't know any more than that- I'm not expecting The Spanish Inquisition....

    A pipe is a hollow bar, and a very short piece of bar is a flat disc, and a disc between some dies makes a coin....

    Where do you want to go with this ? ;)

    Ha!

    Is a saw a very thin file? 

    Where does one stop and the other start?

    Is one car 'traffic'?

    Tracy Tools used to do hilarious charts with different bolt types on etc..

    All made up and hilarious...perfect for the workshop wall.

    I've just emailed them to see if they still do 'em....
