In answer to Brion Vibber,
*I was referring to a post where server side compression was advocated based on the
line/screen quality of the client side. This would happen when the details of the screen
are requested. The argument was that a 5 Mb picture is too big over dial up. Consequently
the current practice of compress once and save would not apply.
PS Thanks for fixing wiktionary.
Thanks,
