Works fine with FireFox. May want to try that browser?

Thanks for the suggestion. Funny, but I go to Flickr a lot and it always coughs up the image. Even signed in to no avail. I'll try from work tomorrow!

Hope it works for you!

IE displays the photos fine for me.

Thanks for the pics, Wayne. I tried to take some screen shots of the DuMont monitor and the prototype with my phone, but yours give a much better idea what they really look like.

FYI, had to play with a lot of trial exposures, then used the raw files for final adjustment in Photoshop. jpg files direct from the camera have contrast adjustments built in to make good-looking pictures of ordinary subjects. Apply that to a TV picture that has its own pre-adjustments for pleasing pictures, and the result may look too contrasty or otherwise not the best. For comparison, I probably could have got better shots of the Dumont set, but would have had to hog it with a tripod in front, turn off room lights, etc. You were there and saw the crowds that rightfully wanted to get their own look at things.

Got it to play on my better half's computer!

I suspect that this problem has to do with a new format at Flickr and how fast your connection is.

I'm at a motel at the moment and my connection is wobbling between 15K and 24K. (Yes, that is "K" and not a typo.)

I had the same problem on the 2013 pictures, so I opened B. Anderson's page to see his flickr still worked.

The set page came up in an unfamiliar format, and after waiting several minutes, I noticed IE was waiting for 107 items to load. !!! I left the computer on and did something else, and in an estimated 20 + minutes the computer unlocked and let me control it again.

I opened Motorola 9T1 and it took about 10 minutes for the 32 (?) pictures to load. They were postage stamp size. I clicked on one, and it enlarged slightly, but Flickr no longer offered the choice of screen resolution, or original size image.

(My travel computer is Win XP Pro, all updates current, with IE8.)
