I am also a dial-up user and I am a bit annoyed with the large pics that
routinely are sent on the list, most of which do not interest me in the
least at this point in time. Three big pics may take me twenty minutes or
more to download (as in this morning). The pics of my conversion are on my
webpage for all to see. If anybody wants to see the pics, I only have to
send the list a notice and link to the pics.  Mike C.
