    You did nothing wrong Robert.  Keep the pics coming.  I can understand the reasoning behind not sending large files, but yours wasn't even 36K (and it was actually from an earlier post).  You know the saying, "A picture is worth a thousand words."  In the Zenith list, a picture can answer just as many questions.  Sorry dial up guys, but we need content to keep this list interesting, informative, and time worthy.

"Sorry dial up guys, but we need content to keep this list interesting,  informative, and time worthy."

  

 Robert,

  

 I agree with the value of the pics,but when you  take 5-10 minutes to download a pic it can be very frustrating.

  

 I would suggest that the members go to www.irfanview.com and download a free  software that makes downsizing pics very easy, even for the novice computer  user. Reducing the pic to 640 x 480 pixels will greatly speed up  transmission and reception for all users.

  

 We have used this program on another web list I  belong to and it has helped. If there is any interest, I can send a "user  friendly" instruction sheet on how to quickly downsize a pic.

Cliff,



And not to mention the rules for use of the Matronics

list. I have included the relevant section below.



"Here are some rules for posting enclosures.  Failure

to abide by these rules could result in the removal of



a subscriber's email address from the Lists.



   1) Pay attention to what you are posting!!  Make 

sure that the files you are enclosing aren't HUGE 

greater that 1MB).  Remember that there are still

people checking they're email via dial up modem.  If 

you post 30MB worth of pictures, you are placing an 

unnecessary burden on these folks and the rest of us,

for that matter.



   2) SCALE YOUR PICTURES DOWN!!!  I don't want to see



huge 3000 x 2000 pictures getting posted that are 3 or



4MB each.  This is just unacceptable.  Use a program 

such as Photoshop to scale the picture down to 

something on the order of 800 x 600 and try to keep

the

file size to less-than 200KB, preferably much less.



      Microsoft has a really awesome utility available



for free that allows you to Right-Click on a picture 

in Explorer and automatically scale it down and resave



it.  This is a great utility - get it, use it!

      Look for the link "Image Resizer"

Tom & Bren Henderson,

      Thanks for the  support.  As I have said before if anyone can instruct me as to how to  reduce a picture, I will do so.  I can well understand how those people  with a telephone modum wait a long time for a large picture to download.   This is the main reason I got Road Runner for a server.  Everything comes  on screen lighting fast.

Very easy Robert. I just downloaded the program  from:

 http://www.axiomx.com/picsizer.htm

  

 I  unzipped and installed it and I can reduce  the size of a pic very easy. It's user's friendly.

  

 Hope this helps

Tom, Bob,

 I'm not suggesting anything wrong was done.   But pics of greater than 1 meg are a pain in the petush to dial up  members.  Just asking that they be kept to a minimum.  It isn't too  difficult to change the digital camera to use the lower number and I don't think  pic definition is a problem for what we are doing to help each  other.

 Cheers
