[Geysers] Oversized pictures -- A Warning

[robert lieb]

You can download a free program that will do this easily (but it is a bit slow at startup) called FastStone Photo Resizer at:   http://www.faststone.org/
A 1.25MB download.

There is no reason to post pictures that are over 1Mb in size.  For viewing 
on most monitors, jpegs less than 200kb are more than adequate.  In fact, 
for most of what we are sharing 100kb is more reasonable.  Large file sizes 
are needed if you plan to print the picture or need to zoom into fine 
detail but they are not needed on the geyser list.  For those of us that 
are still on dial-up, these large files are a disaster.  I waited over 90 
minutes for todays mail to download.  I found the pictures interesting, but 
I would have appreciated them more if I hadn't had to wait.

Please watch your file sizes.  If this continues to be a problem, more 
Draconian measures may be taken.
