Images on websites, was Re: Subject: not stiff enough!

Please don't take offense at this. This is meant for everyone out
there with a web page.

I love all the beautiful pictures of your machines, and thank every
one of you for going to the trouble of taking those pictures and
putting them on a website. But your pages would load a -lot- quicker
if you'd resize your pictures to the exact size you are going to put
them on your web page.

I've come across quite a few that load glacially slow despite my cable
modem. But if you right mouse click (Macs Option Click?) and select
"View Image" in many cases you find that the HTML has been set to tell
your browser to resize the images. So you spend lots of time waiting
for the page to load a bunch of large images, but only get to look at
small images.

I -want- to see the pictures larger. But may I suggest you don't set
the size tags in the HTML to anything other than the actual image
size?

Neil, some of your images are really 4 times larger than you've set
the HTML for. I wouldn't be surprised to find that I had to download
1MB of pictures on your page. To someone on a modem, they'd be here
all day waiting.

I hope you'll all take this as it is meant, as constructive criticism.
We all have our fields of expertise, after all.

Thank you,
Steve Greenfield
