Time Machine? (was: Re^8: How to find out if an argument is an LVALUE ?)

due to bandwidth concerns

I feel like I've stepped out of a time machine...

Concerns over the bandwidth of a little image (or HTML table), talk of Windows XP, Austin Allegros and Tiny Perl...

I wasn't overly worried about the bandwidth of images in the days of Windows XP. Those days are well and truly over - at least for most of us! So, I am not sure we should worry too much about the bandwidth of reasonably sized images now in 2023. If the creators of YouTube or TikTok had been worrying about bandwidth they would have been in some problems...

Bod, the problem I have with "we" is that while you and I enjoy hanging out here, AFAIK (please correct me if I'm wrong) we have not contributed one iota to the actual maintenance and smooth running of the Perl Monks web site.

Though I think I was the first to use HTML Image Miniatures at Perl Monks (way back in 2007) I was asked politely but firmly not to do it again by someone who does contribute to the smooth running of this web site. That is why I haven't done it again and caution others who do, simply out of respect for the folks who put in the unpaid hard work of keeping this site running smoothly.
