File size? Just show them the same image in 300 DPI and in 72 DPI and
the file size it has and then show them a graph that shows how long
this'll take on different connections to download, and even better how
much traffic on the server it causes. Doug Bowman had a nice slide in
his @media presentation two years ago that showed how much traffic
moving blogger.com from non-semantic HTML to CSS saved, and he showed
it to a non-tech audience by converting the traffic figures to CDs -
now imagine 10000 CDs is easier than talking about Terabytes of
traffic.
