RE: graphics

Hi Julie.

I had someone send me some images that I need to upload on the web 
and they normally are about 45K in Jpg after unstuffing. They 
accidentally sent them by .eps one day and the images were about 15 
times larger, i.e., 700K. I couldn't open them with either Fireworks2 
or PhotoshopLE either--at least I haven't figured out how.
