Peter does raise a valid point about dial up/ modem users. It is not ony "in the sticks" where this happens. There are villages not 15 miles away from me in East Berkshire that cannot get broadband.
As TarBoard is international, I know there are areas in the US and Australia who are unable to receive broadband. Also other areas in these countries where broadband is only a little faster than dial up.
There may be others who do not wish to move to broadband if they are not heavy net users.
Other groups to which I belong have a message posting filesize limit of 256kb.
We should perhaps consider first whether the picture is really needed and secondly, if it is, compressing the filesize.
