Hey David (my pal with the funny % prefix to replies...:-p )
Thanks for replying.

Nice name.

Kewl, is it free and can i download it and use it on my website?

Damn, that answers my question, its not free and I cant download and use it
on my website (wahhhh)
On a more serious note, nice site mate, but realllly steep on the pocket,
$250 setup fee? my pal sets up
computers and furnature for a lot less, and $25 a month for 100mb space? I
know porn friendly sites that
charge less and offer more. Reading prices like that made my right hand jump
for the mouse and find the little
x at the top right of my browser and made me reach for a coke because of the
fright I got! :-D
I'm pretty sure you wont get anyone off the list purchasing an account and
there are a lot of people out there
who pay more for _total_ crap, and your service is good.... so....best of
luck and hope it goes well.

Yeah, thats what i have been told on the list and off, but I have never
really worked with GD + the image functions
and it seems better to first look around to see if anyone already made this
rather than to try to invent the wheel all over
again, although I agree with Justin saying that while "remaking the wheel"
you will understand the code better and it will
be more specific to your needs. Another problem is I have GD 1 on one server
and GD 2 on another...
I did get a few really helpful souls off the list who sent me code, mainly
for jpg stuff, will try that out.
> HTH & HAND & Good luck!
Sure did, and the same to you dude.
Cheers,
