I was wondering something.

Are these uploaded/displayed images going to be seen "by default" when 
someone visits "the page"?

We still have dial-up users out there and 3 or 5 MB size files could 
take a few minutes to download for these users.  Many of these users are 
in areas of the world that rarely seen any broad band access, or it is 
not affordable.

Just wanted to ask.  I know of some web designers that think every 
Internet user has high speed access, when I know of about a dozen people 
who either cannot afford it or live too far out in "farm country" to get 
access other than dial-up.
