    Awesome! Thank you, it's great having more eyes. thumb.gif

    Unfortunately I got caught up with stuff last night and didn't get a chance to upload the book. Given my connection it will take at least an hour (ungh) and right now I'm headed out of town and will be back on Sunday. Enjoy your weekend and I'll be in touch beginning of next week!

    Gdocs will do a 300MB colorful PDF file? If so please walk me through it, as I've not been able to find how to import it yet.

    We have a server at home but it's being used for something else (I think). I have a few offers, so I'll let you know, but it won't be today as it's gonna be an all-nighter tonight. Thanks!

    I can host it on a good server if you can get it to me. I can pull it using FTP or HTTP or what have you.

    BTW, you can also add me to the list of reviewers if you like.

    I'm assuming most of the size is images, and they're already compressed as you know. mwink.gif

    Yeah I tried compressing more and it went from 300.9 MB to 300.8 MB. Whoop-dee-doo! I'm not sure what the issue is, but I'm currently uploading it to the servers at Smug. It's still taking forever.

    I'm not sure if there's something I'm grossly overlooking. Last year's book was roughly the same length (144pp) but only 80 MB. I don't get it. ne_nau.gif
