        No kidding! But what about your screen redraw times, especially if you
"slide around" a big placed graphic?!

        Like I said in a previous post, I pay attention to my files. In fact, if
you want to hire a graphic artist, ask him/her to bring a couple of files
with them... Not the printout, but the actual file. This way, you can see
what their work habits are.

        Besides, when you have the PM Prefs set to Smaller, rather than Faster,
the file itself is MUCH smaller.
