Chuck & Gene; I used to have the same problem that Chuck describes when viewing scans from some regular posters. I think I too said that some of Gene's scans looked like they had waxed paper over them. I note that Chuck is an AOL subscriber as I am. When I upgraded AOL's 4.0 to 5.0 I no longer experienced the problem that Chuck describes. Be prepared to put aside over 2.0 of download time to make the change however, Chuck. It's well worth the inconvenience though.
