True, it's just difficult to see an overall view of the SUV.

However I scrolled down and there were more reasonably sized pics, thank goodness for T1 @ work :)

I've got an old fishbowl Compaq 21" CRT at work, it's a mammoth beast and still couldn't see all the first few pics.

Graphics card is a super advanced Matrox Graphics MGA-G100 AGP running on a lightning fast P2/400.

I know, pretty damn impressive.

Wish they bought Dell 8300's with matching Dell 2000FP's, one can dream.
