There are plenty of small rolls of some sort of thread-covered wire in
the physics
shop....  so much "interesting" stuff in there.

Little known fact:  you will get a smaller file using a BMP than a JPG
when using
a B&W image.  For a monochrome image, use GIF or TIFF (with
compression).

Using a monochrome picture I have ("motor_1.gif"), I saved it as a
monochrome BMP,
GIF, TIFF using LZW compression, and 256 color JPG at 25% with
progressive
encoding.  The results are:
    BMP:  759k
    GIF:  41k
    JPG:  200k
    TIFF:  38.8k

I think the results should speak for themselves.

I still have a working (I think) 8088 sitting in the corner of the
basement....  I
wonder if I could run a Web site off that..... ;-)
