The small letter “I” that follows the number means that the picture ‘interlaces’ both sets of lines to create the whole image.

In the web world full of junk email and viruses, antispam software saves time and worry.

I am not very sophisticated when it comes to the workings of the computer. I know how to turn it on, check my emails, surf the web and write a letter or two, but ask me technical questions and you are not going to get an answer!
