Oh, just happened to look at the "About the author" page - he's a
catperson!! There's a pic with him holding a pretty white kitty cat.
So that's another vote for Irfan View... :)

To all those who recommended Irfanview, thankyou so much. Its *brilliant*!!!
It does everything I want it to do, and more. I nearly fell over backwards
at its batch processing capabilities, OMG! thats *brilliant*!!! I converted
all my pics into small, e-mailable thumbnails in just a few seconds, it
would have taken me *weeks* to do that before (quite frankly, I wouldn't
have bothered). And thats how you folk have managed to see all the Cary pics
that are there, because they are such small files. Had I uploaded the
originals, my poor little modem woudl have spent *days* uploading (assuming
nothing crashed in the mean time).

Now my parents and sister can go through allt he pics, pick out which ones
they want the "full" copy of and I can send them the big file, without
cluttering up their e-mail boxes with *all* the pics. Wow, I am *so*
impressed.

I can't say enough good things about Irfanview, in fact, I think I'll
actually pay for it (first time I've ever paid for 'freeware' - it deserves
to be supported!)

Thankyou everyone, I knew you guys were the ones to ask (that and with the
exploding CD, you'd think this was my own personal tech support group!)

Thanks again,

Yowie
