Hi Larry,
         I like it. It's a bit more work but well worth it. The thumbnails 
are big enough to see if you want to look at the pic - the 2nd size is nice 
and if you want to see real detail you can go to the third size and use up 
a bit of bandwidth. I think that's even acceptable to dialup users - it's 
their choice if they want to see the pic.

Keep the revs up (or down)
