Just a little note for you memory-starved MAC Folks out there
(I was one until a few weeks ago!)...

The picture that you use as your backdrop is stored in RAM as
part of the system, thus wasting a chunk of the precious stuff.

This may not be a problem for B&W pictures on an SE (small)
screen, but I had a color backdrop for the MAC II which took
up about 300K .... Not nice when you only have 1MB!!
