anyone else?

Moose:

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...
