I take care of me mates!

I have the currency excahange on my desktop as one of my Windows Vista desktop "gagets"
But some reason or another, when ever I do a screen capture of my desktop, my "gagets" don't show up on the screen capture. Thats weird.

mirimark - I resized and reposted that image...

(Please try to keep the size down, mate. Thanks.)

[mirimark]

Sorry Stogie,  I'm just not very good at resizing.

[stogie bear]

Erm... That's not what I've heard!

[mirimark]

Well, thats true.  Once a Femboy has had my Rod stuff up her bump her little brown wrinkle is resized forever.
Lucky me.  Unlucky for everyone after.    

So why does my desktop gagets not show up on screen capture ?
The capture appears to capture the entire desktop, but the gagets are not there ?

[bigmick22]

don't know how you did your screen capture but I just did an Alt->PrtSCr on my Vista laptop and when I pasted into mspaint, the gadgets showed up

[stogie bear]

Those widget overlays aren't considered part of the video screen... Try SnagIt!

[mirimark]

It must be the program I'm using then.   Its called;  Irfanview.
 I have two gagets on my desktop on the right hand side.  The calander, and Currency exchange.

I would try my other screen capture program but Stogie will yell at me when I post the capture the size of Australia.

I've had several guys tell me that the rates on www.bangkokbank.com were more accurate for what we may get at ATMs in country compared to what sites like XE give for the exchange rate. Bangkok Bank lists a buy rate and a sell rate. XE has just one, so would it be the buy rate or sell rate?

if you have an Amex card or sometimes through a credit union you can buy AMEX travellers checks with no commision.

If you can get them with no commision get then in $500 denominations as the Thai exchange booths charge a 33 baht fee per check.

The exchange rate is better for TC than cash so you'll come out ahead this way.

i just use google for currency conversions. I have the google toolbar in my browser, so it becomes even more convenient. Try the following in google as examples.

5 USD in THB
100 GBP in THB
20 SGD in THB
8 EUR in JPY
...

You get the idea.
