Hi Leo,

4003kb is around 4 megabytes - they mean it is too big in terms of
memory/bandwidth.
TIF files are usually uncompressed (though you can get compressed ones).
You should convert it to JPG. Personally I use the freeware Irfanview for
this sort of task, but Paint that comes with Windows will also do this.

Good luck with SQL - there are many books that cover this subject, I'm sure
you can pick one up cheaply.

Subject: (TV) Question

Hi,

I'm a little desperate :>) . I need some help from List so 
I can postpone a medium to long range task 
(~ a month & it started yesterday) that I was given to do 
by my boss.

It's an incredibly boring, dumb task that involves learning 
a language (SQL) by using an on-line interactive, tutorial 
course on a web-site.  I like to think I'm not a dummy, 
, but I hate learning something solely by reading off 
a PC's monitor and continiually having to scroll down.

That was just a very long winded way of saying, that instead 
squinting at the web-site totorial, I've been avoiding it by 
doing other stuff.  What better away to procrastinate than 
by writing to the List.  

I keep trying to put a single photo of TV (my favorite---never 
ever seen it anywhere before) on the "In World " page.


**But** for last 30 minutes after downloading the photo 
and having about 02-30 seconds pass I keep getting a 
message saying the photo is too big.  I don't know if 
they mean 'too big' in the sense it takes up too many 
Kilo-Bytes (it's a 4,003 KByte file with file 
extension .tif), or 'too big' in the sense that when I 
look at the photo it on my monitor it uses/takes up the 
entire screen , or 'too big' in the sense that the file 
extension of the photo is incompatible with "Frappr" site.

If it's 1 and/r 3, is there a way to change it to jpeg 
or gif so that it's not as big?
