Is it just this single picture which does not display on your FF?

Anyway, check if you've allowed images to be loaded in 'Content'
preferences (see Tools>Options).

Hmm, works fine for me with FF 1.5.0.2.

Under Tools, Options, Content, do you have Load Images checked?

Good morning Melchert, I see you beat me to the draw!

Guess I don't type fast enough until I've had a couple cups of coffee. :-)

It's a lousy picture anyway.

I type with two fingers and a thumb, so not really fast. My kids use
them all and type over 150 strokes a minute; I'll settle for an average
of 40 strikes and 3 misses.... 8-)

Well, I use 8 fingers, and one thumb. The left thumb has no assignment
in 'touch typing'. Now if I could even learn that the shift key on
electronic keyboards is NOT ballistic... sigh.
Watching my niece type is a strange experience. She types about 140
words per minute (really!). She puts her fingers on the keyboard, and
words appear. I never see her finger move. Amazing!

you're supposed to use all 10 digits. The 8 fingers are for the
letters, numbers, shift, ctrl and alt keys. Only the two thumbs are
used for the spacebar.

A True typist: If you're typing a word and the word ends on a letter
with the right hand, then you're supposed to use your left thumb for
the spacebar.

A non-true typist: if you're right handed, then you'll always use your
right thumb for the spacebar. A hunt and pecker will use whatever is
convenient

I was taught to type in 1959. We had old Royal and Underwood manual
typewriters. We were taught to use the right thumb only. Keyboards
back then didn't have any contrl or alt keys. Grin.

You only preceded me by a couple a years. And I don't mind the added
ALT and ESC and CTRL keys, I just object to how they have moved around
the keyboard over the years. Geez. ASDF...JKL; Hello? It works because
it DOES NOT CHANGE! Sheesh. Every time I buy a new computer it comes
with a different keyboard. Not vastly different, just, well, it's those
tiny "improvements" that MAKE ME FREAKING CRAZY!

Umm, does anyone out there actually use the WINDOWS key on a regular
basis? Get rid of that one and the CTRL keys get back to where they
should be, and were, on a PC keyboard of 15 years ago.

It would be more terrible to NOT be an old, curmudgeonly, touch typist!
I mean, hey, the only other option is ... uh ... to not be at all!

It's funny, I remember when my mother made me go to summer school, not
because I needed to, just because I was going into the 7th grade and,
WOW! ... the demands of academia would be so severe. Oooo!

I took touch typing and a class on "how to study." No recollection of
the actual title of the class. That was back about 1962. Both have
served me well. Even though Mom (let alone me!) could never have
envisioned personal computers back then, or how any of that would apply
later on. But, I now bang away at about 100 words per minute. So that's
helpful. Not sure about the anal-retentiveness and compulsive
organization tendencies though. Fortunately, Dad's sense of the absurd
seems to have stuck with me so I'm only mildly conflicted and, at this
age, none of it seems bothersome at all. And my wife recently told me to
go buy another guitar. Hey, how much can a guy ask for? ;-)

1952 for me, and I had one of those nifty Underwoods, which had an
amazingly light touch. I'm ashamed to say that I never learned the top
row of keys, but I could hit 120 on a good day. Haven't gone over 80 in
the last couple of decades, though. Fastest typist I knew was a
champion baton twirler.

Every once in a while I snicker when I remember that I've got most of
the jobs I've had because of something I learned in 7th grade :-)

Receptionist. Admin Assistant. Data Entry. Project Manager. QA
Specialist. Editor/Proofreader. Maybe I'll grow up soon...

It's amazing how many IBM Model M keyboards are still alive and well and
being sold for a buck or so at yard sales.

My first computer keyboard I had, had something like 175 keys: had 3
sets of F keys

My main problem is with the shift key. One the old manual typewriters,
you banged the shift key, and then hit the letter key while the carriage
moved (up or down depending on manufacturer), and I have NEVER gotten
used to having to HOLD the damn thing down. Seems a slight 'hold' could
be put on the shift key to accommodate us old dogs that just don't seem
to be able to reprogram that reflex. As for moving keys around, I
worked in IT for 40 years, and daily used half a dozen different types
of keyboard. Never was much of a problem after a while as I could
determine which type keyboard I was on by the feel. Funny I could do
that that, but never have gotten used to the 'non-ballistic' shift key.

Even though I worked with keyboards from 1968 to 2003, I NEVER admitted
to being a touch typist on any application, and kept it a complete
secret while in the Air Force. My idea of Hell is to sit at a keyboard
doing typing, or data entry for 8 hours a day! I was warned by a friend
that if I admitted to being able to type, that is what I would do for 4
years. I saw others who fell to that fate, and was grateful for the
advice. While I spent most of my time in front of a keyboard, my
entries were brief commands, not continuous data entry, or text entry.
