Re: Large images on the net....

Sorry Mike I will definitely have to disagree a bit on this.

It's not the fact that people don't have 56K... all that means is that on a 
good day if the wind is just right
and the sun and moon are in perfect align meant with the rest of the stars 
... then maybe just maybe
they'll connect at 56K.

There are many people who may have a 56K modem but only connect at 28.8 
because of poor phone line connections

I know I myself will at most times only connect at 40 - 48K sometimes very 
rarely I'll connect at 49K.

But there's also been many a bad day where I could only connect at 33.6K 
because of the weather or some other disturbance
with the phone lines.

So you definitely have to allow to 28.8K connectors out there.
