Too much strain on copper pipe joints?

Hi Austin,

I was reading your reply to the moderator about your hot water heater supply line problem and I wanted to address the problem that you had uploading image files. If the image file was a .tif, raw or any other type of uncompressesd image file you will, essentially, be waiting till 'hell freezes over' and probably time out on your browser window. If you convert the file to a .jpeg/.jpg or any other compressed fire, it will upload in mere seconds. I'd also switch to a 9.6k to 56k modem if I were you. they're easy to install and even win 95 has the drivers for most of the common ones(let alone, Win 98 and 2000)

Excelant link for a free file converter[no spy/malware]totally free and easy to use:

www.infranview.com
www.search.com/related/infranview. html?tag=se.sr-1-118.related.c.9.6.bottom - 18k

or type:'infranview' into any popular search engine.

This application not only converts image files, but audio and video files as well.

Good luck !

Almost all of the Windows operating systems have Windows "Paint"

If you open a file in paint, then hit File ..Save AS..

When the save window opens you need to assign a "file Name" and on the second line where it says File type, change the file type to JPEG ..then hit save.

That will automatically convert the file to a JPEG.

Also, in Paint, hit tools,,,Attributes..then change the file format to 550x550 pixels and it will be properly formated for the bulletin board.
