its 20KB because you shouldn't need more if you know anything about compression and how to save your file right.

big sigs aren't fair to people with crappy australian internet connections that limit them to 10gb/month

If you compress most images, they end up with crappy quality...

not if you do it right and with a decent program that can optimize the image without losing data

Yes I needed that...Although I see your view in this situation, IT TAKES MORE SKILL MAKING SIGS THAN COMPRESSING THEM..

If you just want to compress something, just use IrfanView.

Your acting like your having a duel and your opponent gets a pistol and you get a spork.
Isn't that pretty much what it is? I dunno wtf a spork is, I suppose it's way weaker than the pistol since you compared that to this.

Luckily their meters fuck up and end up giving you 20GB+ in a month. Besides, don't forget the 56kers.

Only four more kilobytes to go!  :)

I love Paint Shop Pro 7 and Animation Shop 3. I'm no uber graphics artists, but I can do what I want with those.
