on a related note, i received an email yesterday with some forms that a lady would like be converted to our website. one of the files was in word, which i was fine with, but the size was 7 megabytes. i instantly got sad that is was some long complicated form that would take forever to replicate online.

i opened the file; it was only 1 page long. i looked around and noticed our logo in the top left corner. even though it was only an inch or two wide, the person had brought it in at an extremely high resolution that was a couple thousand pixels wide at least. so that was solely responsible for bloating the file from 50kb to 7mb.

just thought that was an appropriate story to go along with the whole 'people use MS products and don't really know what they are doing' theme!
