Do you think there are many modem surfers around these days? I mean, modem surfers that actually buy subscriptions?

Last year I was waiting for my broadband access for about a week and was using a 33.6k modem and it was painfull for the time being. With this connection I would have never got the idea to surf for porn and pay a dime for it as I would not have been able to enjoy it.

I have tried hard to compress images as well as possible but if you want to reflect the details and quality of an image it is hard to make them smaller then 100kb. If you do, you will need to compromize on quality significantly. Okay, you can make them smaller, but smaller pics do not leave the same impression on a surfer then standard sized images. Just my 2 cents .... I believe poeple look for quality in images as it is harder and harder to sell stills because everybody goes for movies these days.
