Greetings! This is my first post on Lugnet;

Ahoy there, mate! Welcome aboard! :-)

I am grateful for this
excellent resource. I recently acquired most of the parts for the
Skull's Eye Schooner (6286). I printed the instructions from
Brickshelf, but my printer isn't that great and I had to kick
my wife off her computer every three minutes so I could refer
to the directions online. This was a hassle for both of us. Then
the light bulb went on in my head. I burned the Brickshelf JPEGs
to a CD-RW and played them back via the DVD player in the livingroom
(where I build). This worked great.

Hmmm... you can DO that?
I didn't know - I thought only DVDs would work on the player, not CDs. It's
a great info to me, now I have another argument when I talk my dad into
buying one!

I could even zoom in for a more
detailed view. Of course, the original instructions would have been
better. But I was totally pleased with this method.

Out of curiosity, have you tried with other instructions since? I mean, from
other sets - they may have been scanned in different resolutions, and it
would be interesting to know what kind of "readability" to expect from each
of them.

In any case, clever thinking.
