Hasn't this (saving pictures) been around for quite a while?  I mean, saving
pictures off of web pages isn't the easiest thing to do, but I've been doing it
for quite a while.  Again, I just got out of Windows for the last time, so I
don't have to worry about these types of "features".  Who would guess that
Microsoft would be getting credit that lowers the needed IQ of web surfers even
more?
