I have a full version of MS Office 97 on my laptop - it includes a photo / image editor....

What I did (for the swap) - took the pics on my daughters camera (Thanks Amy!), and downloaded to the computer. After that, I used the crop function to eliminate as much background as I could - but even after cropping, they were still large - about 260K.

There are two re-size options in MS Office - one where you tell it the the height and width on pixels (scroll boxes or via keyboard), or you can be lazy - like me, and choose the option for document, webpage or email. I used the the webpage option, and got images of about 50-60K bytes, which is perfect for posting on the forums here.
