Nice image Gregg, it downloaded in seconds and had sharp resolution. Although
it is nice to be able to see an image immediately, I also like to know that I
can go to a site where images are stored and I can access them at a later
date. On the other hand quick access would probably make it easier for a lot
more people to view and comment on an image.
