And not everyone has a choice about dialup. Until just recently, it was my
only option at any price. And for many others in my area, it still is.
Cable and DSL lines just don't get run in rural areas. And the fastest I
could get a dialup was in the 20s - my modem was faster but the phone line
just couldn't handle anything more than that.

My computer (cable hookup now) pulls up the pictures at their full overly
large size and then immediately resizes them to my screen size. What did I
do right to make that happen?
