Bingo! That and the fact that the 640x480 images are typically 100K,
and the full size images are about 1MB that. No point in someone
downloading 10 or 100 MB of pics when they might only be interested in 1
picture after seeing the 640x480 snapshots.
Anyway, the way the page is set up now, it pops up the standard
download/save as/open with dialog box, so the visitor can save it or
open it in their favorite program. That way, everyone is happy. I
don't want to force people into a large download if they really don't
want the pic, and I don't want to use up my bandwidth for nothing.
