***I am angry at Zillow!***
How dare they copywrite their images?

I was going to look for my house on their website......

I found it......and it looks so cool, esp. the birdseye view!

So, all I wanted to do was copy the image so I could post it here.......

But they wouldn't let me!

So now none of you can see what a cool house I have.........:cry:

I need a hug.......

3. They can't really stop you..
... from doing an Alt-PrintScreen and then pasting the image into a graphic program (Paint Shop Pro, Photoshop, etc) and then cropping the extraneous stuff off. I just did it :)

6. Ah, my dear Sendero.........
I'll have to try that.........it sounds complicated though.......

I'm just a newbie when it comes to fooling around with such advanced tools!

And, no, I'm not kidding!

10. If it's any consolation, Peggy--
--everybody in the world needs somebody to look down on, in some area of human endeavor...and when it comes to computer stuff, I'm at the very bottom of the food chain. George W Bush could figure out this stuff easier than I could...:-(...meanwhile, here's a hug to sustain you...:hug:

11. My dear Arkham House!
Now, you are a positive sweetheart, and no mistake about that!

I am really really dumb about computers.....

Once someone tells me how to do something, then I'm OK..........

I actually had to call my very savvy daughter so she could walk me through the necessary steps!

And we did succeed in getting the picture captured and into my Photoshop program.....

Unfortunately, it's in a format that the Photobucket doesn't recognize, and now it's too late to call her back.........

Tomorrow I will ask her to help me do that!

Thanks for the hug, and here's one for you: :hug:

7. I do that all the time. I do research for my job and I use zillow
all the time.

Alt print screen and paste into Paint and voila. You have your image.
