I had actually been thinking that myself. Actually, I run my screen at 1200x1000 but my typical web window ends up being about 1024x700. I have thought about how the large pictures are a little "too" big. I would prefer to post smaller ones and have (...) (25 years ago, 7-Mar-00, to lugnet.publish)

It would be really nice if browsers could scale images down to fit a the screens resolution; afterall, many picture viewing utilities do that automatically. Please do not make the pictures too small. I just want them to fill MY screen. To heck with (...) (25 years ago, 7-Mar-00, to lugnet.publish)

Thanks for all the advice Chris. I revamped my site with smaller pictures. Its MUCH better. Seriously though, why not come out of the dark ages and upgrade that 256 color video card? Being a software developer, I just HATE it when we have to make (...) (25 years ago, 8-Mar-00, to lugnet.publish)

(...) Because I spend all my spare cash on LEGO I can't afford to upgrade my 486sx25 with a VGA 640 x 480 256 screen. I did have a SVGA screen but that blew up and I was given the VGA screen. I designed my web pictures to fit in a 600 x 480 screen (...) (25 years ago, 8-Mar-00, to lugnet.publish)
