Thing 3

This, as demonstrated by the post labelled Thing 2 below (are you following me? I realise the continuity's reminiscent of Memento: feel free to tattoo a reminder on your torso), is where I learned something. Something oh so simple; so much so that I really feel I ought to have known it already. It's that Paint (formerly Paintbrush for Windows, if that rustles your mental archives) can save as a jpeg. Really, I'd written off that simple program that nestles on almost every computer years ago, as only producing bitmaps that were never what I wanted. Times have changed, and next time I need a simple crop or screenshot I won't be waiting five minutes for Photoshop to fire up.
