My cropped graphics won't compress

[Lauren]

Um.  You need Administrator privileges on the work PC to download and
install apps.  Got a clever bypass for that?  Paint is always available.

	Better yet, why don't people faced with these situations get smart
and download a for-real, powerful and efficient image editor like the GIMP?
( http://gimp.org) It's available for Windows, Linux and MacOS. It's free
and open-source (though enthusiasts will correctly tell me I have gotten the
order of attributes wrong there :-)
