The problem with posting on forums is that most people don't bother creating thumbnails.

Even with cable modem, opening a thread that has a dozen 1200+ pixel images in it is an unwelcome surprise.

I have decided that I don't like Picasa all that much. Its all-or-nothing with it... either you give it complete domain over your image folders or copies of your image folders. I can't point to a subfolder on a different drive and say "use that as an album".

It wants to import everything first. Lame. I am also not thrilled with the web interface so far.
