Sounded like Greg was hoping for a somewhat standardized look to the web
pages, since he also mentioned only a 320x240 size image; at least within
some constraints.  Obviously people have trouble with that kind of thing,
rules have been changed before to suit the individual versus the masses (or
is that the other way 'round?).
A CD holds 360 Megs so makes me wonder about the collection of such a
potentially large amount of stuff, hope he's got a good 56K connection or
better there  :-)
Although a little calculating (guestimating) turns up that only a 1/2 or
less of the CD would probably be filled, still a large amount of data to
pass around if a fair amount of people submit there stuff.
