Hi Leslie, long time, no talk to. It's getting warmer here (finally!!)
which must mean you're getting cooler.
I've seen photogs do that, even to some images on the net. My response to
my friend, now that he's gone digital, is to give clients very low-res jpegs
for approval purposes.
Too bad there wasn't as way of doing that to a DVD.
Similar to what the (legitimate) download sites are doing to music.
It's OK to burn the songs to a CD but then you can't copy that CD.
Oh wait, a quick Google search says that's been cracked too :-(
Mike
