Ben,
I have not tried compressing the image lately, but the last time
I did, I only got a very small diff in size. I did not think it was
worth the time it takes to compress it for the small gain.
If you would be interested, I could come up with a sort of
subscription. Then, everytime I have a new release, I would mail you
the cd.
