Well, I can tell you its not going to happen./  The only thing we can do is
make a generic picture for all pcitures...  Can you imagine how much space
the www browser, gif/jpg decoder, and then storing it!  The generic picture
thing would work, but if you even want to do graphs, you'll need to make

accounts...  try freenet.nether.net or nether.net
