Ghetto documentation & car talk

[Michael Eisenstadt]

Clark,

On PCs, your larger attachment (210k) shows a file name
with a .dat extension.

Can you convert the image file of your picture on your
Mac to a jpeg?

Going by the captions it seems like something we
wanna see.

TIA

Mike

Well how disappointing.  I tried every type of download attachment/photo 
viewer I had, and still couldn't bring up the scanned photo or flyer you 
sent.

This was hell scanning. The original was by Terry Rains

"EAT YOUR LIVER!!
Moriaty,
Your CLASSIC automobile, 1950 vintage, has been DESECRETATED BEYOND
BELIEF by surely enough yours truly G.K. SHELTON, just like I
threatened to do months ago. And to add incest to injury, I have to
date won THIRTY-FIVE DOLLARS in prize money, many times the f ace value
of the vehicle.
You must commend me on the paint job, which undoubtedly makes it
the gaudiest car at the Austin Speed-O-Rama, if not exactly the
fastest...(as of this writing, only four or five of the original eight
cylinders function properly, and as a result I have only two fourth
place finishes to my record)
-Shelton"

The other side of the car proclaims it to be "The Mary Jane Special 69"
leaving us to imagine whether the lady or the herb.
