i have a customer trying to send me a 16 meg photosho file, i can only accept 10 megs i think. anybody have any suggestions to tell him. the file is going to be used for business cards. is there anything he can do to make it smaller, he said he tried a pdf but it was even bigger. i have heard of certain websites that you can upload to, and i can download from. any help is appreciated, i use coreldraw so im not to familiar with ps, but i do have the program

There are two sites I know of that you can upload a large file to:

www.yousendit.com and

www.senduit.com

I think at yousendit, you have to sign up for a 30 day trial, so if you're pressed for time, I would have your customer upload the file at senduit.com. You will get a message telling you there is a file there to download. Both are pretty straight forward and simple to use.

16MB for a business card!!!???!!!
It's ridiculously overspecified, for a logo on a business card - let's assume 1" square, I'd struggle to get it over about 0.5MB. You won't see any benefit above about 2-300dpi.
Go to PS and reduce the resolution.
Try saving as a jpg.

You can download a free jpeg2000 plugin to PS here.

Jpeg2000 compresses a lot better then jpeg. I don't know why it has not become a de facto standard for web publishing.

At the same site, there is also a superPNG compressor. It can compress up to half size of what the PS builtin does. It makes lossless compression, but it just makes a better pre-filtering search.
