2002 versus 2003 file too large

[chris]

Have read everyones comments on 2003 version too large compared to 2002
version for publishing to the web.

I have spent two days trying to upload my old web site from 2002 to 2003. it
is RIDICULOUS.

I have a 10mb server usage and this 2003 version converts my 1mb site to 64
mb. My Graphics are the major reason for my site, not text!

Is it impossible to reduce back to a logical size within 2003 without having
to change my original graphics that were perfect in 2002 edition?

It would seem to me that I have wasted my money on buying 2003 version if I
cannot upload my graphics do web without having to reduce pixels on hundreds
of images.(I may add I was so excited by the new updates in this software,
but now it would seem to no avail if I can't use it).

To get my site happening I have reverted back to 2002 edition.

David has said that this file size is its major downside.....if this is the
case I cannot use this program and would like to know if I can get a refund.

Signed a very tired small business operator who fears they may hve wasted
good money and good time.

Is there any way I can resolve this or maybe I should just continue to use
2002 version until something is done to rectify this issue

I view your site and see it's version 2000 being used.
As far as site file sizes and image sizes that would be the better option
(refer to http://www.davidbartosik.com/pub11.htm)

Did you get a refund, or some other satisfaction in this matter?
