Re: [APML] Picture Resolution For Web

[Joe Pedit <pedit@email.unc.edu>]

Hi Dale,
You are correct.  I suppose a better approach would be to have multiple sizes available (e.g., 
images that would fit on a 800x600, 1024x768, and 1600x1200) if server space isn't an issue.  A 
few APMLers do this.  The smaller 800x600 size option would also allow reasonable download times 
for those of us without a fast internet connection.
