Sorry all.  I've apparently not figured out how to manage this new camera
yet.  Great resolution, but huge files.  When I try to cut back on the file
size, the resolution goes to pieces.  Aaaarrrrrgh.  I'm using dial-up too,
and it about kills my old machine to send 'em.

Pleas, don't send pics this large to all on the list, some of us are still
using modems.
100k is enough for god resolution.

Tom, download "The Gimp".  There's a version for Windows if that is all you have.  Just load the pic and save as jpg.  Most of the camera programs will save as jpg, but they do a poor job of compression.  Load the same jpg in the Gimp, save it, and watch it loose 90% of its file size.

A Google search with "gimp windows" will give you what you need.
