The tile with the mountaintop on it doesn't align perfectly. Worst post ever.

For what's it worth, almost every other one at that site is better than the one in the post. Not as big, but better photos.

No, I'm using FF 1.0PR and it was loading like molasses for me too. So, P_G, YOU are the nob.

I'm just downloading the bitch. Thanks for the link. None of my homemade mosaics from the isles turned out as nice (well, maybe a couple, but I never made it to Oahu)

What nice beaches. And what a pretty ocean. Let's put up a whole bunch of ugly little houses, or giant hotels or skyscrapers, all over the place and live here amid the sprawl.

Pretty_Generic, excellent post - I would have just made the "more" link as THE link instead of directly linking to that massive image. I loved the mosaics - the "thumbnails" (well, Shrek-sized thumbs) were big enough to enjoy without killing my browser. You can find very clever photo-stitching software here.

a warning about the sheer size of the file and just how slowly it downloads would have been appropriate, considerate and polite

IMO it wasn't that big a picture. Opera handles stuff like that with aplomb.
Looks to me that the Eagles describe it pretty much perfectly:

Nobody caught 'em
Put up a bunch of ugly boxes, and Jesus,
people bought them
And they called it paradise
The place to be
They watched the hazy sun, sinking in the sea
