That first picture--the Panther Chameleon--reminded me of a banana split. I wonder what kind of environment would require those colors for disguise? And ice cream shop was the only thing I could think of...
And the other chameleons: They reminded me of a tricerotops.
And a question:
I couldn't quite make out the italicized print because it was so small, but was the genus spelled:
Chamaeleo
or:
Chamoeleo???

Here's an even better picture of chameleon zotting insect. I don't the insect, but the tongue length is spectacular. http://socrates.berkeley.edu/~deban/salamander.jpeg

wwh,
Unbelievable tongue there. Do you think the photograph was altered in any way? Where does all that tongue go? Does it roll up like a party blower? And what kind of salamander is it, I wonder?
He's a cute little guy, isn't he? But his tongue is snow white...and that's weird, too. I wonder whether it was the lighting?
Curioser and curioser, WW
P.S. How did you blow your screen up, Faldage? That would be a neat trick to learn.

your screen has what is called "resolution" go to the start button.. then Settings Control Panal there are a number of icon in the Control Panel, Find Display
There will be several tabs on the top of the window (i don't have W2K at home, and the "names" on the tabs are slightly different.. but one (last or next to last) will be settings.
the Screen setting will be on the right (color settings will be on the left) Nowdays, most lap tops are set by default to 1024 X 7XX ( i forget and i'm not stopping to look it up) you can move the little counter and lower the setting-- everything will appear to get bigger.. or you can raise the setting, and everything will appear to get smaller.. 680 X 4XX is the largest (and used by legal blind users at work) 800 x680 is "old" standard (from Dos and windows 3.1) -- you can always change your settings...
i keep mine at 1024 X 800 or so..
These setting are why sometimes someone makes a post that seems to make the screen "go wide" depending on your settings, it what makes your screen "go wide" might not make mine "go wide"
there are several other setting you can change.. have a care.. i taught a class and some one went wild... and ended up with white text on a white page (in the setting page, and we could no longer see the menus!)

Helen, you wrote:

And you're going to leave us hanging like that? I mean, was it the end of the world or something like that--or did you bail-out the white-out?
Thanks for the info. Will try to find what you're talking about on this laptop...
