Default Can't see NASA shuttle pic

With all these possible beautiful pictures being posted for the elite.
It would be nice to at least throw a bone or two to those of us that are
poor.
It would be the polite, respectful and kind thing to do.

To do otherwise is spiteful.

All I get is "code". How do I display the photos? Thanks


You convince people that post unbelievably huge photo files, in obscure
file formats, to post them in a format and size that the majority of uses
can decode, without having to stand on their head and rub their belly,
while patting their heads. They also need to remember that not everyone
is an advanced user.

Really, if you found a picture you wanted to have in real high quality
resolution, and if you were to e-mail the sender, I'll bet any of the
originators would send you a high resolution file of the desired picture.

In the meantime, everyone gets the huge file that nearly all are going to
view on a maximum monitor size of 17 inches. So why do we need a picture
file of over a couple hundred KB? Beats me.

When there is such a massive posting of that many pictures in that huge of
files sizes, (of one object, especially) I never bother even downloading
them.

Shame, too. I'll bet there were some good pictures, but nothing is worth
that much time to download.
