That was my original thought, I think, but somewhere in the process of
click-click-repeat I just went ahead and made the page views kinda smaller than
they really ought to be.

Yes, I'm going to have to do some serious experimentation with
size/PPI/compression no matter what kind of interface I choose to use in
future. Not only to fit on screens but also to minimize the required bandwidth
and data transfer. Big detailed images take forever on a dialup connection
(something I'd lost sight of), and those past-limit transfer bills add up
alarmingly quick!
Thanks for looking, and thanks for your comments!
