Knowledgeable PCers, I've got an interesting question about design of a traders course series I'm building for my web site. Have kicked this back and forth so many times, my head is spinning and still not sure whether to go ahead or not: The course materials contain almost 300 GIFs. To improve the users experience, I'm thinking of creating one large .zip file of all the GIFs. Students would be instructed to DL the file into an images directory on their HDs. I would write my HTML pointing to their HDs rather than files on my server. They should load instantly, which would especially be valuable during real audio portions when their bandwidth is getting sucked up. Will it work? Can average users handle the instructions to create and fill a directory? I'm not familiar with Mac HDs. Can I create a wildcard path rather than specifying a C: drive? If not, it could be a mess with those who have their HDs partitioned differently. Amy input would be appreciated.
