and if those aren't big enough(!) click the 'Go' button and read the
warnings.

Are they serious? Any modern computer could open the full res images
with no problem at all. My 9-year old PII 266 opened the 109 MB tif
with
Irfanview and also the 60 MB jpg in IE 6 and didn't even break a sweat.


I thought the warning was specifically not to open those images with a
web browser ?
No, it just warns that _some browsers_ may give a broken image, and that
really for simple 'viewing', it isn't really worth using these images.
Acceptable image sizes on many systems, have grown massively in recent
years.
