Ehm, well if the images are in the sme dir as the html then just <src
img=computer1.jpg>  might work.  I can't actually remember if you need
http://computer1.jpg when doing relative urls.  Anyhow, make sure that
whatever dir the images are in is the one that the root of the web site
is at, and make sure the images are readable by the user the web server
runs as.

I haven't evern run apache on windows.  There really seems no point.
