I'm not too worried about the bandwidth, I just wanted to make people
aware that my ISP does have a monthly bandwidth limitation for web
pages, and for people to be considerate of that (a few months ago I put
up some pictures of someone's town setup, and within a day or two, 70%
or so of my bandwidth allotment had been used - of course that was a
bunch of pictures). I think this will also generate less interest.
