color=#0000ff size=2>I did some experimenting with pdf files and the typical
page, done in grayscale, will come in somewhere around 100KB per page.
Full page ads, around 150KB/page. This is best case scenario.
Pics and other graphics will look OK on screen but print poorly. For
print quality pdf files (300dpi) the size goes way up, 1MB - 2MB per
page. Publish in color and the file sizes increase
more.<BR></FONT><BR><FONT face=verdana size=2> <BR></FONT><BR><FONT

are:<BR></FONT><BR><FONT face="Courier New, Courier" color=#0000ff size=2>1)
How many people who opt for the online version will actually bother to
download? Broadband internet connections are still in the minority -
most people are still 56Kb dial-up.<BR></FONT><BR><FONT
face="Courier New, Courier" color=#0000ff size=2>2) What are advertisers
going to think about this and how important is advertising to the K-Factor
budget? As an advertiser, I'm skeptical.<BR></FONT><BR><FONT

present k=factor downloads of 5-7 Mbps (:<</FONT><FONT face=verdana

<DD>I have great admiration for our web-site team and thank them for it al

<DD></FONT><FONT face=verdana size=2>
<DD>One question is how come I get to download in pdf format all kind of
manuals and pages of information larger than the k-factor in a reasonable
time and yet have avoided the k-factor because of the time it takes??
</FONT><FONT face=verdana size=2>
<DD></FONT><FONT face=verdana size=2>
<DD>Until the download time on a 56 kbps phone line gets down to less than
a minute or two, we have a losing proposition, leaving a lot of us without
the k-factor.</FONT><FONT face=verdana size=2>
