seriously?

the most important thing to them is the little spinny image that
shows it's being downloaded?

o.mi.god.

what a waste of bandwidth.

to answer your question, you can add a random attribute to the end
image src url (eg. img src="images/image.jpg?datetimestamp) so that
the browser thinks it has changed, but I don't think that's going to
work unless you reload the page...

just turn off caching in the clients browser....
