.the average resolution of a monitor is 72 dpi, although I prefer to
think in pure pixels: The images in the gallery are ap. 700*400-500
pixels, such that they will nicely fit on a 17 inch screen (FRAMES
version) or in the NON-FRAMES version on a 14 to 15 inch monitor. I prefer
to obtain them a little bit larger , say 800* about 600, so that leaves me
a bit room for prepairing them...

.as explained above (I hope..), it has more to do with monitor resolution
than stealing (the quality of the "stolen" image is so little that you can
only use it for monitor display, besides its funny to see my own images
twice as "award of the moth something, without me knowing about it
;-))....

.one way to go is to get your slides put on PhotoCD and send me the
smallest JPG, as Robert Long did...
