Pictures ...
And for web use they needn't slow things down, I use a nominal 320x240
image size for photographs on my website compressed so that each is
just over 20k. Even ones with lots of detail and thus hefty
compression to get the size down don't show it on screen.
Tell me more.

I don`t know if you have a digital camera (or can get access to one),

Have had one for years!

but
reducing the size of the image is really pretty easy. I use a program
(free) called Irfanview for most of my simple image manipulation, and
there`s an option under the "image" menu to "resize / resample". You
simply tell it the width (or height) or a percentage you want the image
shrinking by and hit OK - it will resize the picture instantly, and you
just "save as" a different filename if you don`t want to overwrite the
original picture.

I do all that on an almost daily basis.

I can do all that but that's not what I thought Dave was suggesting. If it
was I apologise to both of you.
