    Thank you
    800x600 is roughly the size of a 15" monitor I believe.

    Right click on your pic, chose properties and that will give you a size. Any Paint program or Photoshop will tell you as well. Also, go into the Babe thread and right click on a pic, it will tell you the pixel size and will give you a good idea of what is what.

    Your pic should be visible side to side in the thread without having to scroll to the right to see all of it. Not all monitors are the same size or set to the same rez, but 800x600 is a good rule of thumb. (Soly's rule of thumb if memory serves.)

    1024x768 is a 15" monitor. 800x600 would be 12", I think.

    Not that anyone uses a 12" monitor.

    I had to edit. The pictures were too big and messed up my formating. I didn't change any words or anything during the day i swear. You can check the edit time. It's very close to the time i posted in the thread. Please don't disqualify me!

    Well, I've submitted my entry, I hope Y'all like it!
    When I was a child
    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye.
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    The dream is gone.
    I have become comfortably numb...

    He can participate but not win! So post your mediocre attempt for a chance to beat his amazing one anyway, haha.
