Re: offlist questions

One thing Michael didn't mention. That is that all (well 99%) computer 
screens have a resolution of 72 dpi. If you send a 300 dpi picture to 
the list it will show up  300/72 or a little over 4 times bigger.

Please re-sample your pictures down to 72 dpi and size them to 4X6 or 
there about.
