Hi Bill,

I reduced you picture you sent in to 1/4 size and posted it at:

http://hot-streamer-dot-com/temp/blaster.JPG

The Tesla list does not send out file attachments.  This saves bandwidth
and protects against viruses.  There are 850+ people on the list so a 200K
file attachment means the server will send out 170MB of data!  So, we ask
people to post them somewhere or send them to me.

I usually grab them and refer them to my site but you can send them as a
file attachment to:

terry-at-hot-streamer-dot-com

and they will be automatically uploaded to the directory at:

http://hot-streamer-dot-com/temp/

For all to see.

I think 640 x 480 or 800 x 600 JPGs work best for most Internet things.
You can see the details well but the file size is still small.  Your 234k
file reduced to 51K just fine.  I brightened it up too (I hope is was not
copyrighted :-))).  I think it is best to take the pictures in the highest
resolution possible and then use a photo editor to reduce the pictures and
clean them up if needed.  Like taking regular pictures, it all takes a
little practice.  One of the best things about digital pictures is that you
can reworks them all you need with software.  I like Paintshop Pro but
there are all kinds of editors and I think the ones that come with cameras
are fairly good these days.

BTW - Your gap is really cool!!

Cheers,

	Terry
