I am experimenting with image qualities in an effort to make your download time for documents less painful. I suspect that the bottom line will be images with average download times of 5 - 7 minutes, which is still pretty slow but much, much faster than the reported 20 to 30 minute killers of which I've only recently been made aware.
The bad news is, even at the lowest quality, which is nearly unreadable, it still took 2 minutes to download an average sized document with a dial-up.
The next step I take if I can't find a balance is to include a link to a zipped file, but that's a pretty big step and I want to exhaust all my other options before I do that.
Thank you for reading, and apparently opening up a document before going to bed, then waking up in the morning to read them.
;)
Curtis
P.S. Dial - up customers, please feel free to write in, (anonymously if you want,) and report your document download times so I can zero in. I gave up my dial-up modem 17 years ago and am totally flying blind. The better information I have about your real life experiences, the better I can serve you.

Special Joint School Board Meeting to be held on Janaury 18, 2010
There will be a special WLVA and Sac School board meeting at 6:00PM on January 18, 2010 at the Sac Elementary school.
The following is the tentative agenda:
1. Call to Order
2. Approval of Agenda
3. Discuss Superintendant search process and timeline
4. Adjourn
Barb Kruthoff announced that she will retire at the end of the 2009-2010 school year. On January 11, 2010 the Wall Lake View Auburn and Sac school boards hired the search firm Tryon and Associates to search for a new superintendent.
On january 18, 2010 an as yet unnamed representative of the firm will give a presentation that will walk through the process of finding and hiring a new superintendent. This will not be a meeting where the directors lay out a list of qualities that they would like to see in a new superintendant, but more like a training for the school board directors so they can learn how to interact with Tyron and Associates during the search process.
The meeting could last as long as three hours.
