Well, I have about 20 minutes from the time I get up at 0600, check my
overnight screen captures, and post what I think is worthwhile to this list
before I have to start getting ready for work. I usually don't have time to
fool around with Microsoft Paint or other photo editing software in order
to pare down a jpg to the 40 kb or whatever it is that this list won't
reject as too large an attachment. :-)

Posting a Dropbox link is *much* more convenient, IMO. This leaves the
recipient with the option to click or not click on it, at their discretion.

I have Charter broadband and, like Dex pointed out, clicking on someone
else's Dropbox (or Photobucket) link produces an almost instantaneous image
on my screen.

Now this is just my 2 cents, and I don't expect or desire anyone to agree
with me, but the majority of my screen captures will be via Dropbox, like
they have been for the past two years or so. :-)

Having said that, I need to start actually doing some monitoring this
season. New job has got me all out-of-sorts.
