# It's a good tip but they (the uk one anyway) use Java to diplay threm so it's not possible to save them.

# yeah, and they're bitches about copyright
even for paintings which are hundreds of years old, the national gallery still claims copyright on scans it makes of them. and for some reason uk law upholds this despite it not involving any original creativity (sweat of the brow copyright). the us law is much more sensible. *end rant*
