Re: HIST: HYB: REB: Taj Mahal (Sturtevant, 1921)

Ah, now that page is completely different looking and more picstures.  I think it must have been a problem with my cookies being "older" than the current page and not being updated for the current page.

The last time I had this problem I had to press the Control and Shift key while I clicked on the Refresh button while on the page for each page ( a web based catalog) and that allowed the new pages to be shown.  Before that I had be downloading the old pages using the old cookies and didn't know I was ordering stuff now out of stock or with price chages.

Just some helpful info to halp others become more intenet saavy
