na_th_an, BMPs do have a minor form of compression for paletted images, they can use a form of RLE. But not at 24bpp. You don't want to use BMP images for a website anyways, because even compressed with RLE, a GIF or PNG with the same bitdepth is going to be far far smaller (with PNG beating them all out 95% of the time). The last thing anyone wants to do is sit around waiting for your 2MB of BMP images to load. 
I'd knock on wood, but my desk is particle board.
