There is a screen grabber somewhere in this setup.  I haven't played with it
much.  For schematics and such I just generally save the image,  but most of
the PDFs are mostly text,  and some small amount of images.  I'll have to take
a look see at what format that screen grabber saves things in.

 MK> Heh, heh.  Sorry but I find stuff like that amusing.

Some sort of memory bug,  it's almost always a segment violation error,  and it
mostly happens when I have a whole bunch of tabs open and that sort of thing. 
Maybe when I upgrade next they'll have the problem fixed.

I'm pulling in my initial batch of email as I type this (1352KB),  and can see
a whole mess of stuff in the inbox that's gonna get bounced...
