    Default Collector's Closet UPDATE

    I've been given permission by Tips & Tricks magazine to reproduce my Collector's Closet columns of a year or older.

    All of the colorful goodness can be found at this page:

    More to come!

    That's great Joe. I just saved a copy and downsampled it to 150dpi and it took it from 9 Megs down to 1.4 Megs. It's still very legible. You may want to think about doing that. I can email it to you if you want. Just a suggestion.

    Wow, you people rock. You made my day! Thanks for the feedback.

    Hey, I'm still working on a method to get these as low in size but acceptable in quality as possible. CongoBongo has been able to get the file to 1.5mb but the best I've been able to do is 5.5mb. I may have a solution on this though, will try this out tomorrow!

    And Christian, I'll have my camera with me on the 8th!

    The 5 meg download didn't take me long to get on my dial-up last night, maybe less then a half-hour at most. Great artcicles and can't wait to read the others. Heck downloading the first CC gave me a chance to read some the other articles there too.

    UPDATE.

    December 2001 now online. Sorry for the large file size but there's just a lot of "imagery"!

    Grab it from the link above.
