anyone else?

Well, as the guy who runs the Olympus Gallery (around 3,000 images and
growing), I sympathize completely. One suggestion -- you can always
provide a link to your really large images (with your smaller ones being
teasers) that comes with a warning, such as "If you like this at this
resolution, click here to see it at a truly awe-inspiring
resolution! WARNING: Honkin' big image [550K]. May need to go to work
for a day and then come back if you're trying to view this over a
dial-up
connection." 8^>
As well, experimenting with image compression can sometimes yield
fabulous
results in a fairly compact image size, depending on the image. But
yes,
there are certainly compromises to be had when trying to share your
vision
over the Internet...
