Here here! I'm afraid that ignorance (no disrespect intended to anyone) is prevalent. I click on an image and if it's more than one or two hundred K in size, I'm afraid I skip it, unless it's something I desperately want to see. Which is a shame. My time is limited. I would love to view someone's pic when there is a problem to see if there is anything I can do to help, but a 1.6 MB jpeg takes some time to download, and then if I want to see it in full, I'll have to drag it to the desktop and open it in PS or whatever. All takes time. I am on dial up. I wish I were on broadband, but it is not an option. I live in the countryside where there are no plans to install the equipment to enable me to access broadband anytime soon.
