Now that two people have praised these images I have to ask what am I
getting. The URL's seem to say that they are pointed at some PNG
files. What I get is an extended download period and then a near full
screen image. Attempting to save it brings up the message that I need
to buy Quick Time Pro in order to do anything with the downloaded
file. What is going on? It appears that I have downloaded a video.

This may be as good a time as any to raise the question of the
relevance of PNG. Now that whatever patents on GIF are obsolete is
there any reason for not going back to it?
