I have W 7 and I right click on the picture, then "save image as", then my desktop comes up and I click on save.

I downloaded Malwarebytes and ran its quick scan, nothing found and W8 shut down still much... much slower than when new, a couple of months ago. The speed is what was moving me toward being a W8 fan... but no longer? The browser still comes up faster than W7, a different slightly slower machine. I have used Malwarebytes (only occasionally) mainly because it was highly regarded by some of the regular contributors on this forum. But, looking closely at a new download, I learn that the "free" version is really a "trial" and if it finds something wrong one has to buy the Professional version to clear the problems. Do I understand this correctly? Yes, nothing is free, but some free software seems to survive by offering higher quality paid-for versions and advertisements.. even some contributions. But, the free anti virus I use is free and seems to stop most "stuff"... Avira is what I use and it is up to date as far as the Avira auto update is concerned. I rarely do a manual check on updates. It seems I overlooked the June 9, reply.... or I didn't get one via email.

sorry to hear about your house fire... well, West Bend finally wrote me back and want $4 for a xerox copy of the manual. But now I'm wondering, I washed it and noticed some scratches in the coating! Should I even use it? If so, in what capacity? Would anyone use it with one of those reynolds bags? And what kind of meal could I concoct? If not, is there a place to recycle teflon products?

A fax doesn't always have to be set to receive and a dedicated line is not REQUIRED, however if you have need to receive faxes 24/7 and not be there to attend to it if you use the phone line for other things, then a dedicated line is more important. If you simply need to send and/or receive a fax on occasion, then your current line will work. You could even use fax software on your computer to fax. This was my preferred method when I'd prepare letters, contracts, reports, etc on the computer, then fax it out of the computer and receive faxes into the computer and use my printer to print them out rather than use the thermal paper that many faxes use or an inkjet, etc. Once I started needing to fax other peoples' forms that needed to be filled in and the like I bought a cheap standalone fax machine to send them (rather than scan them into the computer and fax it out of the PC and still receive them on the computer. There's also email to fax and fax to email services available. For a while I had a "fax number" and then it converted the fax to an email and emailed it to me. I did a few sending faxes over the internet too. For the unit. The combination units, called 4in1 when it has fax, scan, print and copy capability (a 3in1 doesn't have the fax ability) and they can be a flatbed scanner or a sheetfed scanner (similar to a conventional fax machine. Sheetfed are handier if you send multiple pages regularly. This is why I bought a fax machine (new for about $16) when I had to send multiple pages. The units normally will have a built in phone so you can use it as a regular phone - thus eliminating the plug/unplug all the time. There's a setting to sense fax receiving and it can be off and if you hear the fax tone, just hit receive and it'll receive the fax. Or you can set the fax to pick up after, say 5 rings as long as a voicemail or answering machine doesn't pick it up. There's machines and software that will sense whether it's a voice call or fax and adjust accordingly. If it hears the tone it'll work like a fax and receive it. If it doesn't get the fax tone it'll work like a voicemail/answering machine. There's a number of options, depending on need and budget.
