for this Web SiteIt is my intention to keep images with large file size (jpg files) off the main pages on this site. On items where there is an image, you will find a clickable link that will take you to a separate page where the image will automatically load up if your browser does not have the auto images function disabled. While doing this takes more time for me, it will make the pages load up much faster for you. You will not have to wait for a page to load all the images to continue.
Where there is an image over 50k, I will indicate the file size. If you have a non-pentium computer, or equivalent - with memory under 8mg, you should consider the loading time for larger image files. Here is the bad news on image load up time (assumes a minimum of a Pentium 166hz processor + Windows 3.1):
| Modem Speed | 14.4k | 28.8k | 56k | 128k | T1 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50k File Opens In | 40 sec | 22 sec | 14 sec | 5 sec | 1 sec |
| 75K File Opens In | 48 sec | 27 sec | 18 sec | 6 sec | 1 sec |
| 100k File Opens In | 73 sec | 39 sec | 26 sec | 8 sec | 1 sec |
If you see an item that you would like to see an image of let me know. I will scan the item for you and send it by email or post it to the web site.
I would appreciate your feedback regarding image problems or any other technical problems you encounter on the site. Quite often, you will see a problem before me and your feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, George
