I have a really cool image of the ENTIRE universe (as accurate as we can tell) on my computer. However, for avatar's you can only have 20 kilobytes max for memory. It's an ok type-Gif, but about 84k in size. Does anyone know how I can scale this down and use it for my avatar?

Thanks. I emailed it. The picture is generated from a super computer, in case you were wondering.

As soon as Fraser scales it down, and sends it back to me, I'll post it as my avatar, and then everyone will be able to see it.

On a Windows PC, you can use the Stretch / Skew option in Paint.
