Maybe it's just me, but some posts here have some "wicked" large pix. It takes, like, forever!

I usually just click "stop" and move on. But, maybe I'm either old fashioned, or the posters don't know that some won't wait.........

A little program (iview) will allow them to compress the images for us old types.

However, I could be wrong, and most here think everybody should have high-speed?

I miss a lot of the pix that use the megabytes the camera came with, the shooter having NO clue that these can, and should be re=sized easily.

Mike<--getting a beer.
 
thats why i try to use lower res pics. its an easy adjustment you can make on a camera and makes it easier to keep the quality of the pic at a lower resolution.
 
It would be nice if all of us had high speed, but that is not the case.

Posting high resolution pics leaves some, who are on dial up, in the long waiting to download line. Not fun!

I think anything above 90 psi is wasted if doing online posting. Monitors
can't use anything beyond 90psi.
Most upload services have a resize feature that you can click on and in the process make them more viewable to those without a highspeed connection.

I have DSL here and it helps out on all of that Fred. -----:thumbup:
 
its hard to believe people still use dial up. Once you go fast you'll never go back.
 
You would be surprised, perhaps, at how many places don't have access to high speed lines. Areas where the ADSL lines of the phone company don't quite reach or there is no cable internet, either. Often just a couple miles outside of town. It's not always a matter of "slow by choice".

Morning Mike,

I understand that three miles from the phone company modem is as far as dsl will carry. I am at 3.2 miles and I am the last one to get it on this line.

The technology is available to put the whole country on high speed, the only thing lacking is the money and the will.

I generally post all my pics as thumbnails. My parents are still using a 28.8kb dial up modem out at their acreage. Everytime I use that thing I just about end up tearing out my hair. But it's like fitzo said, not everyone out in the country or in small towns has access to high speed - not to mention the extra cash for it.
