Should TDR improve quality of Reader's Rig photos?

Ah Steve, only saw the faq under the Discussion forums pulldown menu. I should have dug around some more. Irfanview looks a little more user friendly than the program I have now.

I for one would prefer to have the page load fast than to be able to post large pictures. Many other websites I've joined allow large pics, and also unlimited pics, and they are so slow I rarely ever go to those pages anymore.

I thank Steve for keeping speed the #1 priority. And Im on a LAN.

Some of your dial up speed problems may be because of your modem. I had a lot of problems with disconnects and 28 KB or less connections. No DSL here in the sticks of Humboldt County, CA. It's available in town, but not out here. I was thinking about satellite. I found an article on modems on line and did some readings. Most of the modems that come with a computer system are soft modems. These things rely on a program to control what is going on so the modem hardware is minimal, basically just a signal converter. I replaced my modem with the best USR modem card I could find. It was on the shelf at the local Staples. What a difference! Very seldom does it disconnect. I now always get at least 38. 6 line speed. Sometimes 44. A 56 KB connection is possible if there was only one phone company relay between me and my ISP. My ISP provides software to speed up a dial up connection with a compression algorithm which is selectable. The fastest results in lousy graphics. I use medium compression so the graphics still look pretty good. Right now I'm connected at 38. 6 with 4. 2 speed up which results in a 160. 4 line speed for practical purposes. Do some research and you might get a lot better results from your dial up connection.
