Kia ora koutou,

I take your points about viewability on older computers but
I figure the graphics could be a bit bigger. With this PC
the graphics come out VERY small on 800x600. Is it possible
to detect what kind of graphical capability a browser has
and serve them different pages based on what they can handle?

Quoting "finn c." <finn at animal-liberation.org.nz>:

requests, and about 90% of page requests are for index.php3. <<

Hang on. It is only using our bandwidth if the graphic is
hosted on our server, isn't it? If the graphic is remote
loading from another site doesn't it use their bandwidth
instead?

>> It would be good to upload a decent sized picture in the
discussion space I reckon. <<

True dat.

RnB,
Strypey
