[Leica] IMG: Kettuvallam - Problem

[pdzwig at summaventures.com (Peter Dzwig)]

Does anyone know why SmugMug stalls when viewed with FFX on XP? It's not 
just 
Tina's pictures - I just can't get any of your SmugMug-hjosted stuff to 
work. Is 
there a work around?

BTW I am certain that it is my GREAT loss.
