Just you, I think Vicki! Resource Manager opens up OK for me. Perhaps you need a Reset.

My e-mail provider has a means of blocking unwanted mail. Under Settings, there is a sub-head Spam Settings where you can list senders you wish to ban. You will see the true sender of the email if you right-click the email and choose Show Source. Here's an extract from my list:

Note the use of the wildcard *.

Or you could obtain Mailwasher, https://www.mailwasher.net/ which I have used in the past, and is excellent.

We used to call them rubbers, but I got funny looks when I tried to buy one here in the US.

That's very scary. What happened to his nine companions, I wonder.

That sounds a like a quirk with Win 11. I do not know of any way to change the size if the buttons on toolbars in DrawPlus. I do not have Win 11 - there is not a problem in Win 10 or earlier. Is there a Win 11 forum?

If you think that's clever, how about this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bg0FQCTFCmI?

Not having any talent for playing any instrument, I've always been fascinated by mechanical music, such as fairground organs and orchestrions. There are many examples on YouTube. I never did get around to visiting the museum in Thursford https://www.thursford.com/steam-museum/, where Mr Cushing has many working examples.

Is there some problem with your browser?

I see it now. I think the PostImage site must have been down when I tried before.

Karen,

There's nothing there.

My two experiments were Joule's Law and thermal conductivity. In the former, I ended up with 4.17 joules/calorie. The other involved, I seem to recall, using Callender's apparatus, but I cannot recall the details. I know I ended up second in the class - rather to the surprise of Mr Chaundy, our physics master!

Sorry to hear that Tom. Creating a single column frame, using Format, Update Object Default, and then using Tools/Save Default Settings, putting a tick by Object Styles in the dialogue box, and clicking Save seems to work OK here.

As Alfred says, I would have thought that resetting would also do the trick.

Ah yes, but then you have to Save Default Settings from the Tools menu, ensuring that the Object Styles box is checked.

Hi Tom,

Try Format/Update Object Default

Wasn't there a Morris car dubbed a "frog-eye"?

Perhaps you are thinking of the bug-eye Austin-Healey Sprite.

But that is a start.

I remember, from many years ago, hearing the cacophony of caws at the top end of Streatham Common  coming from hundreds of crows. I see from Google Earth that the trees are still there. I wonder if the crows are too.

The string in his mouth appears to be attached to the main bamboo pole just below the bow. It is not clear how he holds the string in his mouth. Hooked on a tooth, apparently - see around 5.40. He takes it out at the end (7.13). The instant that he puts it in his mouth is not shown. It is at 1.06. Earlier the string is held in the hand holding the bow, but at 1.07 he begins playing, and the string is already in his mouth.

That's all very informative. One learns something new every day. I must keep clear of the humming birds, especially if they are feeling peckish.

I am puzzled by the fiddler. What has he got in his mouth and what does it do?
