Re: VMs: Full-Size Jpg's

[Knox Mix <knoxmix@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It is nice to have a full set of high resolution pictures but most of 
the disk space required is for broad expanses of green paint and blank 
vellum: nothing that cannot be appreciated on an 8X jpg. All the parts 
of pages under discussion could be on one website by way of ready 
reference for people who are on the long end of their "last" computer. 
The site could be restricted if the host has misgivings about displaying 
images to the public. It would allow for examination of a few SID's at a 
time on a smaller disk, downloads of manageable sizes, and for a full 
set of 8X jpg's on that disk that are useful in themselves.

I do not think there is any special reason to keep an image in tiff 
format if there is no future alteration to be made and disk space is 
limited. About converting to jpg, is there any advantage to having a jpg 
the size of a sid rather than the sid, itself?
