As far as installing new software into a browser to view a new type of image file, the chances are slim that the majority will do it. I don't exactly plan on doing it. If MS updates the browser, then so be it. If not, sorry, I am not either. As far as Flash, I believe the claim is 89% of web browsers have Flash installed, and experts believe the number is closer to 98%. But that is really neither here nor there. It is up to the individual to upload they wat they want to. I don't plan to compress my files any more than they already are. If someone else chooses to, however, that is fully up to them. As I said, I understand there are people who cannot get broadband. However, I stopped building websites at 800x600 four years ago, so I am no stranger to leaving the past behind. It isn't to be spiteful or anything, it is simply my own design choice.
