    press PrtScn on your keyboard, open Paint or any other graphic programme and press ctrl+v or chose Edit->Paste from the menu.

    That is all Mac needs to do and a gif will appear in his message here?
    Great!
    :@prayer:
    You just know he is gonna toss in a caveat, right?
    1> he uses win 7.
    2> MS painbrush is a long way from a file sharing service.
    3> prnt Scrn works if the hotkey does as is intended. Usually not from an application, you need to shell out then hit the key.....
    4> Mac is a smart guy and he will come up with a user issue you never thought of.
    5> etc.
    :znaika:
    But you knew all that already.
    :rolleyes:

    :Thanks al!

    Well it looks like there is a God after all. I have been waiting for this day for about 4 years. Uncles finally showed his face on youtube.

    :D

    That's a very handsome face you've got there Uncles. I noticed that 1952 era headset has a little microphone on a hinge so that it can easily be flipped out of the way in case you needed to lick something in a hurry...okay I'm lasughin./.,/ fuck

    wait pls lol:@popcorn: :@popcorn: :D :D :D :D

    lllolllllllllllllllllm

    I had to say that Uncles...:@drunk:

    Im just kiddin ya Uncles ole buddy. I wish like hell I could go for a ride in a b25, one of my fav planes...awesome footage there...I had a trip in a Lancaster planned with my old man and these guys want huge money and all this hassle.

    (how do I get the damn pic I saved on my pc on this f'n post, (not in "attached file" format, just plain visible, you know? like everyone else does
    If I click the insert image icon it asks for a url, my pc is not a url, lol) do I have to put it on some free file sharing type of site that guys like hez know about?)

    I think if you limit the size of a pic you have edited to 72Kb[?] and safely have it in your ../home/mac/pictures or anyplace you are comfy with [sorry, I use Linux, not ZombieOS - I can't remember the dog's breakfast of win dir structure....] folder in you PC, then you can insert the gif you have resized to that size from your directly into the lines of your message. There is a fucntion inside the this BBS software where you can store X Kbs of gifs n jpegs... and that is the thing you would inject right into the lines of text. Which is what I think you are asking to do....
    Uh, like this: Untitled.gif

    A B-25 was not a very big plane, there is more elbow room in the cockpit of a DHC-3

    No, really!

    Okay, back off topic:

    See: hi mac.gif
    or, uh, wait....
    TV Viewer friendly version....

    ...
    wait...
    ...
    ...
    I think it will be all done in about two minutes.
    Wait....

    Here's the bombardier/nose gunner position (I used iPhone for this part).

    They mentioned that the bombsight on Panchito is based on the custom lightweight for the Doolittle raid. And the .50 cal. doesn't seem like much protection, hehe

    The roar of the motors is just wonderful.
    I have good sound here, at my place, I mean good sound.
    Those tuned cranked cammed hemispherical head stroked pistons and stuff sounds like a symphony.
    But not to my neighbours.

    Sounds so cool. I could listen to that for long time.
    Well, until I get a sore head....

    There's an opportunity to go up in that same beastie again this weekend next, if you want. In my area, last time this season. I'm still trying to decide if I can do it.

    You could get better pics than Mac, hehe

    That is some great footage there Uncles, you are very fortunate to go for a ride in a b25. So, tell us, how did this come about?

    And I am wondering if that gun in the nose is a 30 cal or a 50 cal..it looks like a 30 cal. I am not bitchin, but I think that gun might have been tossed into the nose of that plane, it might not be authentic, (like the headphones).
