So what is the trick to getting a picture under 100kb without having to shrink it so much? I'm currently using a program called 'Irfanview'...I get the pictures down to the right file size, but the size of the image shrinks so much, the picture loses its quality..

Hey bullwinkle,

I had the same problem until one of the fine BOTLs showed me the image resizer at microsofttoys where you can just right click on ur picture and set it to "small."

download picasa....it's a free google editing photo program. 😉

Hey Bullwinkle, mind if I take one of your company cars out for a spin? 🙂

3rd from the right is mine, track 1-1...She doesn't have a name yet, we're trying to come up with one...Needs to start with an a, as we are in Alpha section...I was thinking Angry Amy...

Andrew

audrey seems like more of a "tank" name... (I apologize to any audreys on the board, or anybody dating an audrey)

To get literary, you could call it Anna Karenina....:) But somehow I don't think that would go over well with the guys.

I don't know about Audrey, but definately don't call a Scouts Brad(ley) a tank 😉 We don't like to associate with tankers...We have a friendly rivalry within the Cav between the armor tand the scouts...

What TOJE said, works great.

May want to check you camera settings as well.

Sorry 'bout the tank reference... 🙂

What about Agnes? Angry Agnes? 😉

An ex of mine had a sister named Amara... I'd like to see her name on any vehicle meant to bring pain and suffering to people. 🙂

No beetles gonna hatch there! Thanks for the pic.

J

Ann the Annihilator!!!!!

BigStoney almost stole my suggestion...Armored Annie. That is if yer askin', but the BOTL/SOTL can load this string with suggestions starting with A.

' I'd like to see her name on any vehicle meant to bring pain and suffering to people. 🙂 '

I just spit coffe all over my monitor! 😎

Try saving the pic as a "jpg" rather than a "gif". Jpg has more compression (but it's lossy compression, so save your original pic of anything valuable).

Hey... when you're bitter, you're bitter. 🙂 Don't happen to have any vehicles you need to name with an 'S' do you? If so, make it Sophia....

How about Anna Kornikova(sp?)?

All kinds of word fun there.

"I was mounting Anna Kornikova..."

"I was lubing Anna Kornakova..."

"while on top of Anna Kornakova..."

Sounds better then doing any of that with Angry Annie to me...

I visited Hovey last week.

And you didn't stop by for a cigar? How could you? j/k..Give me some warning next time and we can grab a drink and a smoke..
