for zambia we were doing thumbs at like 120 or 150 pixels in width
a standard display size was 640x480 to 800x600. for MOST situations that
size was actually sufficient to make a diagnosis and never have to view the
full sized image.

Deleting them is dangerous because any code that doesn't know you're
treating images differently will expect them there. Not sure if anyone has
a better plan though.Many of our deployments are in severely bandwidth-limited environments,
so I
think we do need to serve up the thumbnails in a way that's doesn't
require
sending the whole image over the wire.got it. is there a particular thumbnail size you have in mind?
Dan, what size were the images on the last iteration using?
