Glad you have made the transition to pictures, Steve [g]. Your scan shows just how good a picture can look on-line.

Just a comment on file size though. Your one chip picture is about 122K in size. I have experimented and found that I can get quality that's just a hair less and get file sizes of about 55K for a single chip. Not sure what scanning and paint software you are using but there's usually a parameter you can set to determine the 'quality' of a JPG image. My software has a range of 1 to 10. I usually use 1 and can hardly tell the difference.

This may be a moot point to users with fast modems and fast processors, but remember not everyone has these. It can make the difference between a picture that opens in 10 seconds versus a minute or so, and many will not wait that long to see a picture.. they will go on to the next note.

When everybody has upgraded (in 2-3 years) it will make no difference, but today, particularly on a web page with several images to open, the slower machines are just about unusable with large image files.

Anyway... glad you made it. I seem to remember seeing that chip on somebody's business card ? [g].
