Shows it downloads but just blank white browser screen. Anyone else?


That's a mighty pic. At 11174 x 1388 and full colour your browser will
need to monopolize around 45 meg of memory (in addition to the usual
bloat factor anyway) to deal with it. That's probably your problem.

It's a *fantastic* pic - you can almost stick your foot out and kick the
rocks. Go find someone with a bigger machine - and a humungous screen.


Or a poster.
At 100dpi, that's 111*14", or a circular hoop big enough to stick your
head in.
