# I've zoomed it in to 2000 pixels wide
and the text on the front page is easy to read.
I'm not quite sure how they've managed that resolution from a 250 pixel pic

# and
you'll be thanked for it :)
a lot of people are on dial up and 400k+ pics will make their modems scream for mercy !
as a guide it's recommended that 200k is a good maximum file size , usually for anims , it's a nice pic all the same :)
