****  A note to Peter. You're really missing out! IF you can parallel
view, you can cross view with a bit of practice. The results are well
worth the effort of learning. I too started thinking I couldn't cross
view, till I got tired of small low resolution images, and the hassle of
downloading larger crossed view images and reducing their size so I
could parallel view them. It became painfully obvious I was missing out
big-time. I wanted to see those larger images in ALL their increased
definition. You just can't get there with parallel viewing. The number
of pixels on the screen are related to size and surface area. Crossed
images are MUCH more satisfying than parallel ones as a result. 

Don't give up, merely because you haven't gotten there yet.

*****  I'm always amazed to hear about -running out of web space-. There
are places to get FREE webspace (yes each instance has limits, but there
are so many of these available, which can be tied together with links as
if they were one place) and places to get extremely inexpensive and
truly UNLIMITED web space. How can anyone run out of it? I spend a mere
$10 per month for UNLIMITED webspace AND unlimited bandwidth...
