I make my images available for viewing on the screen.   As it is, I see copies of
my photos being pilfered and placed in locations that I have not authorised.  For
example, half the computer screens in Xerox house have my images for backgrounds.
STNs get issued with my photos in them.  The Paralympic Operations plan had one of
my photos on the front cover.  I don't see why I should make them better quality
so even more will be stolen without permission!

Just change your screen resolution to 1024x768 he says!   My first 5 monitors
would not go above 800x600.  My current monitor goes up to 1600x1200, but not
everyone can do that.
