Can I put my hand up and say please, please, please go with your idea of no animation? :oops: I find lots of movement on my screen quite hard to cope with but I've never figured out if it's a me thing or a KC thing.

Jay,

Yes, 6kB isn't huge, but it is amazing what you can fit in 6kB!

Our staff pass photos do for example, as the human face does compress well using JPEG.

I want to leave things as they are though for at least a month so that I can review bandwidth usage.

Lynn ... do i need to be asked why mine is a welsh flag???!!!! :roll:

Gee guys, just because i now live in England this doesn't make me english, far from it. I'm more proud to be welsh here than i was back home. Say no more. I would rather put where i have come from than where i am now. :twisted: :roll:

To me this is all getting rather silly, and i thought i was the one who pleaded for more pics, for once i'm not really looking for anything ... or maybe working a week of nights i'm just having a really bad day. :( :roll:

Sweet...

Well I was just trying to work out whether it was where from vs where now like you said!! Heh - I don't think anyone could confuse you for English anyway :)

Hope your day gets better!!

Well, I at least know whre I am from, and my flag is right. Although my dad was from the United States (started in Chicago whose flag is 4 stars flanled by two bars). Chicago is in Illinois, whose flag is an eable bearing a motto). he then moved to Philadelphia before going to work in the Middle East.

I was born in Iran.

I lived a time in Wales.

I studied in Salzburg (and if I ever get a coat of arms whould be entitled to put a cardinal's hat on it ... take too long to explain), as well as Stirling and Edinburgh.

I lived a time in Paris.

I am a Scot and live in Scotland because this is where I choose to live :D

but how about chrism who hoisted the flag for New England? I guess the Stars and Bars covers him, but wonder whether his state flag (which one?) might also be welcome.

John you have managed to take our minds off KC! Well done

I think I heard the same. i waas concerned because the symbotom of migraines (severe pain in one side of the head with the eye feeling like it is too big for its socket) is also a symptom of elevated IOP.

I hope he is okay.
