interesting...I get the same problem Ed does...unless I copy the address to JUST the GIF and paste it into Opera...then it displays fine. ...but it seems Opera is not so easy as Netscape to right click on the GIF and and to see just the image. I am not sure why....

this address, pasted into Opera, gives a good display
