I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Help? The Medium (Email) links are for screen viewing and emailing. You'll want bigger sizes for printing. [Click here for additional help]

8. BOTX_131212_132.JPG: Is that me on TV? Visitors were first introduced to television during the 1939 World's Fair in New York. To prove it was not a trick, exhibitors set up a see-through TV display and an operational television studio. Visitors even received a card they had experienced television first-hand. Elevators appeared at the 1853 World's Fair in Dublin, the sewing machine made its debut at the 1885 Paris World's Fair, and the calculator first appeared at the 1862 World's Fair in London. Gas-powered automobiles arrived on the scene in Paris at the 1889 World's Fair and the computer was introduced at the 1964 World's Fair in New York. From functional to fanciful, these inventions marveled visitors who were enchanted with the world of tomorrow. What will we think of next?

Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
Connection Not Secure messages? Those warnings you get from your browser about this site not having secure connections worry some people. This means this site does not have SSL installed (the link is http:, not https:). That's bad if you're entering credit card numbers, passwords, or other personal information. But this site doesn't collect any personal information so SSL is not necessary. Life's good!
