Rick,

Unfortunately, you will have to recapture the screen shots and store 
them as PNGs.  You only have the original shots in JPG form, so the only 
format that you have them in has already been run through a lossy 
compression scheme.  This means that the text is irreversibly blurred in 
these images and it also means that your PNGs will be huge as they have 
to perfectly reproduce this blurring.  If you regrab the screenshots and 
save them directly to PNG then the files will be about the same size as 
your JPGs but the text will be much crisper.

Thanks for the complement on the screenshot :)  Yours are nice too.

Harold
