[thelist] Cropping images rather thn "squishing" them

[Gina K. Anderson]

Greg,

Here's a few free thumbnail generators that might help since
you are in a pinch. I haven't used any of them so there
might be better ones elsewhere but you might find them
helpful for now--beware the wraps:

Windows

Mac

Just a suggestion, I hope this helps,
Gina
