    Hi Ruff ( Can I call you that ? )

    Nice site but very slow to load on my very fast computer !

    If I may be so bold, there's plenty of free software available to reduce the image size without losing the resolution. Doing this will speed up the site loading time.

    If a page takes longer than 15-20 seconds to load, I usually skip it. As will search engine spiders!

    Go to download.com and search for free imaging software. Give me a shout if you cant find and I will dig through my bookmarks for you.

    If you want a link to your site from mine, and you'll do the same for me on yours, let me know.
