Due to the nature of the internet images (GIFs and JPGs) are discovered, the have been photographed by someone at an unknown time, by an unknown person, scanned from an unknown source, posted and re-posted, many 'good sites' are 'reverse engineered' these days, there are even books that tell you of good sites, then tell you how to copy them. To me this is flattery, but as an example the UK has some of the most OTT (over the top) copyright© laws in existence (as with many of its other laws), and implies if you personally have not created an image then you must not use it - not the case elsewhere in the world.

Every efforts has been made to gain permission from image owners before their use, as I have given permission for images from this site. It is blatant thief is a bit insulting/hurtful, a quick 'is it ok' cost nothing and is a polite. However in the real world - mouse button 2 can save any picture you see on the net to your own PC for you own use, every Magazine that you buy, you can scan or copy, the police have other things to do than stand by every photocopier in the land.

The images on this site are composed of those that have come on CD-ROM from packages such as QuickSite, Net Fusion Objects etc, also from professional photo collections (permission given), members submitting their image for the advert, and other unknown postings from the net. Any in the later category, the original owner of the image may request the removal of the image, via an email to Topdog1@thedoghouse.org with the file name and the page that it was used in. If this was a profit making organisation I would offer to pay for images, but sadly we are not.

MYOB.

Some usefuls sites that helped me include Virgins Business start up guide (VirginBiz) that cover how to be a good boss to being the backbone of industry.

Paint Shop Pro

Costs a lot less than Adobe Photoshop (is the best), is very powerful, conforms to Adobe's Plug-ins standard (eg get KAI Power tools). There are plenty of books on the market that can help with Graphics on the web. See Bibliography for more info.

I have a redically low opinion of Microsoft Quality.

I can cite example after example of operating systems that works for years without failure that contrast with Windows failing every few hours. But we still by the crap.
