It's 436MB, full of photos for my travel slide show presentation tonight. I have to pack a Windows laptop (8GB) to show it, because my 16GB Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14 (top-of-the-line) can't do the job. Adobe Acrobat on ChromeOS says it's limited to 100MB. There might be non-Adobe readers, but I don't want to waste time tracking them down and testing them, since this is a one-time event.

Surprising! My thinking up to today was that, while Chromebooks can't do everything, what they do do they do well. Not so.

I have a couple of watches where I can't get the case back on with a watch press. The back isn't too tight -- it's too loose. I finally figured out that it's the gasket. On one, I can get the back on fairly snugly, but it isn't completely seated and I can see the red gasket peeking out.

So, I probably need new gaskets. Amazon sells lots of cheap kits. Is that the way to go?

And, assuming I have the proper gasket, do I put the gasket on the back prior to pressing the back on, or do I put it in the groove on the case?

(This is about press-on case backs only. I don't have a problem with my screw-on backs.)

It's a Dan Henry 1962. I don't want to break anything.

I have several watches with press-on case backs, and for most of them I can get the back on very easily with a watch press. But, for two of them, a Certina and a Tissot, I can't get the back on. In both cases, it seems that the case back is fully seated. When I place the back on by hand, it seems to be making contact with the case evenly all the way around, but I can't get it to stay with the case press.

For these two watches, it seems that no amount of pressing will cause the case to snap into place. It's as though the back is too loose. Yet, it required a case knife to pop it out for battery replacement.

What am I missing? I've tried many sizes of molds, ranging from one that only contacted the back at its perimeter to one that pressed mostly in the center. Also, I have two different watch presses, and I've tried both.
