WinchesterAn informal generic term for floating-head
magnetic disk drives in which the read-write head planes
over the disk surface on an air cushion.
The name arose because the original 1973 engineering prototype
for what later became the IBM 3340 featured two 30-megabyte
volumes; 30--30 became "Winchester" when somebody noticed the
similarity to the common term for a famous Winchester rifle
(in the latter, the first 30 referred to caliber and the
second to the grain weight of the charge).

No, you can't host pics off your hard drive, they need to be on a server.

Anyway, the IMG tag is already explained perfectly well in the vB Code help (http://dynamic4.gamespy.com/~freespace/forums/misc.php?action=bbcode#imgcode). You DID read the help first, right? :doubt:
Didn't think so.

I'll have to add this to my little list of linguistic lore.
Tidbit: The rule that one should not dangle a preposition in proper English is the single greatest grammatical fraud in our tongue's history. This so-called rule has its origins in a grammar book written in the late eighteenth century by a fellow who firmly believed that Latin was the perfect archtypal language. In Latin, one cannot dangle a preposition, and so he decided to make this a rule for barbarous English too. Upon being critcised for violating this rule, Wnston Churchill mocked it, replying "Ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which we are not going to put." Presumably this was accompanied by a good :rolleyes:.

Amen, brother. :) A shame that come hell or high water, I will never persuade my friend of this.

The html page doesn't have to be complex by any means. For showing an image, just open Notepad and put the following into a file:
Code: [Select]
Change the address inside the quotation marks to reflect the proper one for your image file, and save as an html file.
