Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms should be an aisle at Wal-Mart, Not a government agency!! El camino no es largo cuando amas a quien vas a visitar Claymores are not filled with yummy candy and it is wrong to tell new soldiers they are. http://pete2point0.com |

I know you believe you understood what I said. But what I’m not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Not sure if it's the same in the Windows version as the Mac version but try this: Image>Mode>Greyscale
