Errm... nice.... but you're really going to get it from dial-up users. An 800+Kb file just won't turn them on.

2048*1536 resolution is more than we need.

He's going to cop it from all users as a total and utter waste of board space.
If we really wanted to see a picture of spagetti junction we could just go look
in the junk parts box in the storeroom out back. We'd see an equally
unimpressive tangle of nondescript components and wires jumbled together.

Edit: If anybody else decides to add to this thread please break your text (like
this message) as the insane width of the pic will drag it way off screen otherwise.

Methink's the word would be TOSSER
Would you agree Ian?

Well its certainly inconsiderate...but perhaps he
does not realise.

My best cruncher is here and another pic here.

Dell Optiplex 3.0 GHz (Prescott). With the optimized client, it's completing about 30 WU's per day. Currently running three of those machines 24x7.

Fixed.

What you mean fixed? its still a 800KB+ monster file (thats 2.5 to 3 minutes on a average 56k modem).

Try "fixing" it again. :P

... and it's still wider than the typical browser screen.

Resize the image so that it's 600 pixels or so wide, convert it to 256 colors, and then crank up the compression and you'll have a nice image that's easier to see and only about 40k.

Now that's more like it! It really brings out detail not seen in
the original!
(dial-up user here that felt sorely disappointed waiting for that abortion)

Errmmmm... Don't people generally put windows in their case to show off
their clean wiring, and cool components?

Here ya go.....:D

My best cruncher...........

keeleysam, what people are complaining about is the actual first picture.
Why don't you change the picture at http://www.2600hq.com/images_old/computer/DSCF0309.JPG to look
like Gonad's version of yours?
You do this by saving it as such on your harddrive, then uploading
it to where-ever you load it from (your ftp server?).

Then again, showing the backside of a blue box with spagetti wiring
and calling it your cruncher? I can photograph the back of my TV...
want to know what comes out of there? ;)

Sorry, that's 60k in size.
Over specified size limit.

If you use monochrome, you could get it down to fit into a single tcp-ip packet for maxmimum efficiency.
