This is what I did think too, but when I looked at the source of this page,
it don't have any lowsrc in the img tag. So it must be something that is
done with the jpg. It seems to me like its only Netscape that supports this
thing. I have never really looked at the JPG specs, so it could be
something there.

Another thing that is interesting is that it don't seem to have made the
image a lot bigger then without this B/W "whatever". It sure is interesting.
