You can never win. BTW, on the topic of thumbnails - I _strongly_ suggest you do not just dump a raft of separate thumbnails onto a page. Although individually these things are small, the separate server connections required to load them all will slow the page display down incredibly! The best solution I have found to this is to supply the thumbnails as a single image strip of 25 thumbs. I then HREF these via a image-map. This way the user only downloads one thumbnail image, and not 25 separate little images.
