I'm surprised no-one else has mentioned that it's wonky...

I've circled the points I used to get the reflection right. It looks too extreme when the angle of correction is shown, but when it's cropped...

...it looks right. Well, I think it does, anyway.
Note, I'm not trying to get the bank level, but in the centre of the frame, two points on an object and its reflection should be lined up vertically. Unless you want it to be wonky...

I would be very tempted if I were you, and if I wanted to keep on using frames, to change the layout of the page, perhaps like this...

...as I think it would solve the problems you're having at the moment with the height of the frame.
Having said that, can't you just specifiy the height and width of the frames? Looking at the source for my own website, where I use iframes, I have:
< iframe name="bonus" src="frames/bonus1.htm" frameborder="0" width="200" height="400" >
That seems to do the trick for me.

* (forgot I'd asterisked, hence the edit) one of the websites I've done uses Blogger for the whole site apart from one iframe (the 'gigs' page). Due to the design, if I wanted to update this part without using iframes, I'd have to edit the Blogger template. Everything else on there is done with DIVs, and the visibility attribute. Along with some Flash and javascipt...

...the sense of desolation is almost palpable.

I did get my mum a netbook though as it is cheap, cheerful, portable and uses less power than a lightbulb (standard 60W incandescent) compared to 200W+ of a PC (or even my notebook).

...they have a single reader for SDHC Dane-Elect USB MICRO (SDHC)READER/WRITER FOR £3.49 Delivered...
This one is the 15-1 reader that Brian mentioned, as far as I know it would just transfer at the rate your computer port was capable of, so if it is USB1.1 it would still work, but just be a lot slower. However, USB2.0 was released back in 2000, so chances are your USB ports will be this standard anyway.

I love the sand patterns, Dan. Makes me want to get on our own beaches this week!
As a guide, although I took around 50 of the Grebe shots in the other thread, I only kept 7, and was brutal with the editing down - those 7 are sharp etc etc, the others didn't quite cut it.

It might not be a big secret, though. Isn't it what all Germans plan?

Daniel's example looks nice, but the gallery navigation would still be lost on some monitors - it should be at the top.
At some point you have to decide what the minimum size monitor you want to design for is. The vast majority of people have monitors of 1024x768 or higher. I wouldn't base my whole design around the thought of someone with a netbook not being able to find their way around as well as the large majority of users.
Of course, using CSS you could always control the layout to suit the monitor...
