You certainly don't want your first page to contain megabytes in graphics, but on the other hand I take it that you don't cater to customers anymore that still rely on pigeons as their only way to receive mail ;) -- Thanks, Frank.

For example, when waiting for a flight at a fogged-up county airport. All you have is the next cell tower and often they make you pay for every kilobyte of data transfer. We had a story on TV about a month ago where a guy didn't realize the latter. About $4100 later he did realize :-( -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com

I have an AMP part number and need the datasheet, and it looks impossible to find it. John

I understand it's a test shot but here goes. There's a dark diagonal in the upper left corner and a bit of rail in the lower left. You'll need to step a bit forward and to the right to get rid of them. The tree, palm, whatever, in the foreground is a nice touch but is dab-smack in the mid-line. It's better to angle the shot to have it in the middle of the upper left quadrant. Adjust the zoom or your position to cut out lateral distractions, like rails and edges of things that will appear like they're "hanging" off the picture. Of course that can also be cropped out. The road cutting the woods in the background is a bit of a distraction, if you can't block it with something in the foreground try to make it inconspicuous. - YD. -- Remove HAT if replying by mail.

I just held the digital camera through the closed office window because some people in a German NG wanted to see. I'll certainly redo that with a big camera and proper lens, plus I'll repair the remaining railing this Saturday.
