Re: [AGA-sc] Fwd: RE: pic size

["S. Hieber" <shieber@yahoo.com>]

Thanks for explaining.

His excuse is that he was saving space with smaller files. 
enhh! Few things in the tech world are as cheap as drive
space. Did he ask you about disk space? Seems if he would
jsut ask a few questions instead of thinking he's tech
wizard and accomplished artist, he could learn a thing or
two.

I guess he just boxed himself in, maybe didn't even save
the originals.

Anyway, he's not likekly to change his mind about anything.
But, in an admittedly perverse way, it's entertaining
watching him try so hard not to.
