I wouldn't download this unlass you have a lot bandwidth and ram.

That was huge. Unfortunately I could only view it once, and I didn't
finish exploring the whole image. You could get lost in it. When I
tried to open it from another folder the hard drive started working
like mad and everything hung up. I waited 20 minutes for the thing to
load before giving up. I only have 128 megs of ram.



It's only 3.3 megs -- not THAT big.

Try manually opening it with your browser instead of a "minor league"
picture-viewing program. (Even my Mac G3 game me a warning about
Quicktime only being able to display 4000x4000 pixels.)

Now I only have to wait about ten years for wallpaper-plotters to come
down in price so I can print that baby out without taking a mortgage!


Ship it off to a place like EZPrints.com and order a 20x30 for $20 plus
s&h...?

Folks might do better to rightclick on the link above and do a 'save
as...' instead of opening it in their browser if memory is an issue -
then they can play in whatever viewer/image editor they prefer.

It's not that big as a JPEG, but it takes a lot more memory when
veiwing it with the browser. I set my color resolution down to 16
bits, opened the file, then set it back up to 24 bit resolution. That
did the trick for some reason.

I have seen more visually appealing hurricanes. The eye is really
nice but it looks a little too chunky for the overall size of the
hurricane. Not enough spiralling feeder bands or laced cirrostratus.
There are some nice cumulus streets well away from the CDO though.
