Re: [MLUG] Re: Followup on WebCam. - Bandwidth.

Thanks Matt.  I'll give this a whirl.

And a few of you may find this amusing.

I just got a 90% utilization warning for my 5gb bandwidth from 1and1.com 
:)  Guess I'll have to start compressing those images a bit more.   
1and1 rocks though that they only add $1 a month per extra GB used and 
only if you use it, and only for that month.

Now.. If they hadn't lost me a domain to a squatter, I wouldn't be 
nearly as angry with them as I am.
