I am sitting here laughing...
First we have no codes protecting the pictures...second if you ever want to get an image off the web you can always screen print it and paste it to paint.

The fact is they are large images.....large images take longer to load

the image you used from our site which you must have built a page for-has a 404 error..you need to redo the page or reload it...

could it be your internet connection-is your high speed really high speed, what is your MTU set at, were you also doing other things on your computer, is it a cable connection on a shared segment?

Of course theh connection I have at home is a 10 Meg Cat 5E running down to a load balancing router with 4 Data T1's.....but what do i know about these computer and network thingies
