5/11/01 7:30pm EDT Kathleen sent the link below. My slow mind couldn't perceive what was on the map before the next one would flash up. I found out that hitting the browser "Stop" button would freeze it at a particular year for study, then "Refresh" would start the process again and I would stop at the next year. I tried saving the screen for each year hoping that I would get just that .gif, but, alas, I just got 21 copies of thing same thing which would still cycle when viewed off-line. Anyone know of a way to obtain separate pictures (other than doing a screen print of each map)?
