Tips
	When Uploading Images/Pictures it is best to keep the file size under 200 Bytes, using JPG files should keep the file size down.
	
	The Client Program runs best with the screen resolution set to either 800x600 or 640x480 and the number of colours set greater then 256.
	
	Sound files must be distributed into each users windows directory. Sending a sound to a user without the corresponding file on the destination computer,  will result in nosound at the destination client.
