The LUG Gallery runs on a 14-year-old server computer. Its software is 
not compatible with more modern machines. It is being flooded with 
requests from AI robots that are downloading all of its images. This 
makes it behave badly. The developer of the gallery software was hired 
away by Google, and one of their conditions was that he stop supporting 
Gallery so that there would be more demand for Google?s offering. I 
don?t remember its name, but they abandoned it several years ago.

As soon as I get the yearbook finished I am going to turn my attention 
to some form of upgrade to the gallery.
