Re: Back into the Fray

I have double checked your figures.  Because I purposely shrunk these images
to 16 color and do not feel I can go lower due to image quality issues.  I
checked the images loaded in MSIE 4.0 on the geocities page.  main1.gif
reported 4K and main2.gif report 7K.  What program are you using that
reports the size of the image.
