David...I have and use Irfanview...nice program.

My choice of that Open Source program was for example of what my
expereince has been with OS software in general, and it was the first
OS application that came to my mind. I did not pick it because I
needed an image application (I don't) and I did not pick it because I
knew what situation I'd come across....except that past experience
with OS made me feel it was likely that I'd expereince it the way I
did.

I replied why I don't go to it as my first choice. Maybe the problem
should be fixed rather than convince me I don't have a problem.  

I said some of you weren't going to like my reason.
