Your site loads to slow period, and it will cost you sales.
No matter if the dial up surfers are fading there are still tons of them and if you can't get your site dowloaded onto their computer fast enough sales are going out the window.
That said some image optimization in PS should be good enough to get things in the ball park.
Glad your taking care of this issue finally it should help a lot.

As already mentioned several times, optimize photos, slice bigger images and optimize those. Yes photoshop can slice and optimize all of this for you.

Thanks, looked into slicing and optimizing images.... turns out that some of the larger images were saved at "10" instead of "8"... we reduced all of those images and save about 1/3.
Problem is the pages are just too long and have too many hi res pics on it. All the little thumbs we have to lower, that will take time but will save more download time.
Converting smaller images any lower or to gif's just didn't look right, so we will focus on making smaller pages.
Thanks for the tips. We'll keep workin on it. At least they are 1/3 smaller now, they pop a little quicker, but over all still slow for the modem users.
