A friend of mine buys those and occasionally sends me pictures that he wants
added to his site. These are quite valuable.
However (just to mention a con), these are slow to search, insert into the
drive (if not put on the hard drive, in which case they take up volume) and
are not always labelled for a quick and cunning search. With stock.xchng I
follow a link from my portal, type in a keywork and *bang*, it's there.
I really, really, /really/ hope that Travis is right. I can see myself
paying stock.xchng for the service, but I see they stick to AdSense.
