Assuming you've got a printer, you could always just hit the print button in your broswer. For building circuits, a printout of the schematic is probably going to be pretty helpful, since it's easy to write on while you're building.

The schematics I have on the web pages were created with MacPaint! (cad packages produce very nice output on high resolution devices, but very poor low resolution output suitable for www inline gifs) There is no format available other than a bitmapped image, and there are a number of ways to get the images from the web to your hard drive... I'd appreciate it if you'd try these, since you'll likely need to acquire the image again if I update it, or acquire others as I make more available.

• Using netscape, you put the cursor over the inline image you want to download then press and hold the right mouse button. On a mac, just hold the (only) mouse button for a couple seconds. A popup menu will appear, and one of the options lets you download the image file directly to your disk drive. Other browsers usually have some other mechanism that's similar to this.
• As well, you could use "view source" to find the image's name on my system and type the full url to your browser... which would then access the image only. When viewing the image only, the save feature ought to save the image itself. For example, viewing the source of: http://system.name/dir1/dir2/file.html, you find
  <img src="imagename.gif">, then the url you use to get the image is http://system.name/dir1/dir2/imagename.gif
• Alternately, most browsers have a cache, and the image is probably one of the files in the cache directory, but the name is usually lost. Using an image viewer which identifies files without the proper extensions/types, it should be easy to get it from your cache.
• As a last resort, you could use a "screen grabber" program to save a snapshot of your screen to a file... and then just edit away the stuff you didn't want. On a mac, I believe you press shift-apple-4 to do this. For unix, xv 3.1 supports screen capture, but I don't use ms windoze, so I have no idea how to do it, but I'm sure it's possible somehow.
• I won't go into how one might use telnet to port 80 and directly access the web manually by typing in a HTTP/1.0 GET request...
