Thanks for pointing this out...I tried several times and got
several responses. I got the "ding" Does not have a
DNS entry" followed by the actual site. I was able to input a test
city name and get the Getty's email frame to come up, but other links
would not work. I don't know what to tell you. Perhaps the site has
some bugs in it? I'm not computer knowledgable enough to know. When
it works, it's a good site. Sorry, Nancy
