Depends on monitor size. For 17", 1024x768 at 72 dpi should be fine. Mine's from National Geographic.

Well that's the more blunt way of putting it but as usual he's dead right.

Looks like there or Rhoscolyn.

To take it is the usual "printscreen" button on the PC.  That captures it and opens a dialogue box as to where you want to save it. 

Uploading it is the same as Windows.

Nice one Aidan, but if I didn't rotate the lower picture by 1 degree I'd gradually go mad.

Norway in September, nice & peaceful,  it was actually one of the most frustrating days I've had on a bike. My chain snapped twice and my fancy carbon fibre chain tool proved very good at producing stiff links. I had to ride back to the nearest large town and find a branch of Intersport to buy a new chain.
