Congrats, and may all your reaches be broad ones.
Slightly smaller pics would be a great help, say 800 x 600 for faster viewing.

the only way to shrink it would be to copy it, edit, then upload to another server. or just say <slow download> in the heading. or you could stick to your guns, anything that encourages the uptake of broadband helps to bring the prices down for all of us /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

You are lucky, then. In these woods we are told we can expect broad band on the 27th July - but they didn't say which year! On 56kbs I opened that pic in only a few seconds, so no probs. Mind you, my ONSPEED was enabled.
I like the look of your new boat and I hope you have many happy years with her. If you are ever in the Tamar you will find a welcome at Saltash SC.

Can you explain what you mean Tony? The picture of Peter's new boat is the same size (594x446 pixels and 345KB) no matter where you view it. Snowleopard mentions shrinking it by copying/editing/uploading it to another server. The image size seems fine to me, but if you reduce the quality slightly you get the same image size with smaller filesize hence faster download. I've saved Peter's picture (without permission!!!) on my PC, opened it up in MS PhotoDraw, clicked "Save for use in...the web..etc, etc" then uploaded the resultant ~60KB file to "my" server. It now downloads quicker even though image size is unchanged, because filesize is lower. Quality is more or less the same when viewed on screen, but would be lower when printed:

That'll be £500 for the breach of copyright, & £750,000 for consequential damages for pain & loss. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

My solicitor will be in touch /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

This action may be mitigated by yourself or appointed person to a week of cleaning the hull. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Re: Fly-sail?

Do you intend to sample the Med fly-sail life style before bringing her back home?

p.s. I have always liked that raised aft doghouse style.

Re: Fly-sail?

Someone some where posted a post (pda now) on how to post a pic???anyone know where i can find it? I saw it some where today but then had to rush off to cook and make sure the wine was alright!

Is the boat already in France, as the port looks very French?
