You've got it. Just check to see that the size is reasonable before you upload it - in both picture size and file size. Under 60K for an image is a rough guide.
If you have to post big (and there are plenty of reasons), give a warning to 56k users.

I just saw a recent article (headline) today where it's stated that the number of broadband 'net users in the US has now progressed beyond half; to 51%. 49% still on dialup. I'd imagine that pertains to people who purchase services from ISPs as opposed to, say, college kids in dorms, etc.
From my 56k perspective, 100k is comfortable.
You running the unix-based Mac system or still on the old stuff, Kathy? If it's the new stuff, maybe you can get a non-tree-geek friend to help you with the most excellent stuff from http://www.imagemagick.org/

Kathy,
Unix is really more of a mindset than a specific product, but it's basically a computer operating system which was born 1 Jan 1970 and it powers the bulk of the Internet as well as mission-critical big business computational needs. The most popular iteration is currently Linux (old Bill first decried it as obsolete technology, but he's abandoned that claim and is quietly trying to catch up to it now). The second-most popular iteration is the BSD which underlies your Mac OS X.
Your friends helped you greatly; be thankful to them!

cell phone
Always have it and always answer it. The side pocket on carpenter pants works all the time. Tree work is not so mind blowing that I have to focus all of my attention on it (especially in Florida: RJS take note ). Tree work in relaxing 85% of the time. The other 15% is listening to the customers

Oh no! Don't you know after knocking tree work and cell phones I was 'hit'.
Went to dump a large load of brush early this morning so to get back to the client with a full day.
About 2 mi away from where I dumped the load I noticed my cell was missing. Dang, I know it got pulled free from me when pulling the load.
I turned around and went back thinking maybe I lost it at the Hess station after, na, maybe it fell behind the seat, na. Well, going up the mountain gravel road to my designated dump spot I knew it had to here. Walla, as I rounded the turn and approached the dump spot over a ledge to below I saw the phone, like a light was shinning on it.
Ahgggg, closer, and I also saw a truck tire print going over it. Dang, it was one of those with a camer. Sigh, the lens had a nice stone jamed in it.
And it isn't even Fri. The client asked why I was later than I'd confirmed being there and when I told her I had to get help to get her up from laughing so hard.
Me, hahaha, oh, my.
I was told when I bought it I had 30 days to decide.

I ran a BSD server on a Pentium 100 for the past 3 years - no hard drive, just a floppy disk in the drive - without ever restarting the computer or even hooking up a monitor. I could just dial in securely and be on my network from anywhere in the world (with a phone line). Try doing that with a Bill-Gates-anything.
I've only ever gotten 700 some days of uptime with my stuff. Uninterruptible power supply capacity is usually the limiting factor for uptime on production-configured unix boxes. I can't think of the last time I had a system lockup that wasn't hardware related.

This thread is not about Linux, Unix, etc. Go to freshmeat.net for a blast with that.
Nick, you know better!

If I can quote a friend of mine, "Why the hell would you climb with a cell phone?' My phone pocket is on my right leg where my MS200 sits. If i were to climb with my phone I would come down and have called at least 15 people I dont know.
