I can see all the .jpg and .gif images at Amazon.com. I can save the page and
view it offline with Konqueror and all the images show up.
From Slashdot, I went to Sourceforge where I can see the .png and .jpg images.
Went to ThinkGeek and can see .gif and .jpg images.
Various gardening sites I visit have a lot of .jpg images and I can see those,
as well as the .gif and .jpg link images .
Clicking on a lot of my bookmarked pages, I don't see any other broken image
links, besides Slashdot's, except at drudgereport where he has a lot of
pop-unders that are blocked in my /etc/hosts file. But I can see other .jpg
images there.
