Re: New images

["David M. Young" <david@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Symon,
I've gone back through this thread to read a few things.... So let me get 
this straight... to view your website, I have to change my display 
resolution to 1024x768 and load Acrobat... and if I'm running 3.0 I 
actually have to UN-Install first.

All for a little bit of security (when converting) that can be easily 
overcome by simply using a screen capture program... and then I have an 
image that's of a resolution that anyone would laugh at if I decided to 
print and sell.

Can I ask you what the underlying idea is for your site?  If it's like most 
sites and is to show your work to a wide audience, can I ask why you're 
doing everything you can to prevent that?  It's slow, it's unwieldy, and 
most people won't bother.

Cheers,
D.
