Well, if I have some extra time, I'll go back and see if I can find the full
screen versions.  But Assuming that MOST people are like me (or even less
computer literate) I'll bet most look at the 1/4-size pictures, say, "Gee,
even with my glasses I can't really see these" and give up.  I suspect that
Jay's computer is not up to dealing with his camera hardware.  He couldn't
read the DVD I sent him, then couldn't even WRITE a CD to send me until he
bought and installed a CD writer.  I'm guessing that it is painfully slow
for him to handle the larger file sizes.

But if he has any real chance of being accepted on a more "professional"
level in photography, the digital dark room is at least as important as the
camera.  Heck, much more important, since you can do great things with a
$300 analog SLR and a scanner.
