Well,I went to download.com and found FastStone Photo Resizer. It's brilliant! It does everything I want and more, and the executable is smaller than some of the files that get posted here!
It is... An image converter/resizer intended to enable users especially digital camera owners to convert, rename, resize, crop, rotate, change color depth, add text and watermark to images in a quick and easy BATCH mode. Drag & Drop is well supported.
OK - so it's a blatant promo for them, but it's such nice freeware, they deserve it. In fact, I think it should be included in the FAQ for newbies to get their files to a manageable size.

spent a few grand on a little landing page for an e-mail campaign.. I said I`d do it for half the price next time
they said no
ergo: expensive must be good

Christ! Talk about throwing money away...You could knock up a batch command for Fireworks, in a couple minutes, to do the job (I'd say Photoshop, but it's a bit 'spensive).

totally agreebut after a year of explaining how they`re being ripped off, I`m fed up wasting me breath
I threw together a little Flash thing in under 5 mins to show how easy some of the stuff they pay for is to do; and it`s literally just static pages with a bit of Flash - we have to re-code them with server markup to make them do useful stuff
