why did you remove the photo? Vroman 03:55, 17 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Maybe because that image does not display - something must have gone wrong with the upload. My Mozilla just shows "... cannot displayed because it contains errors". andy 08:26, 17 Dec 2003 (UTC)

That's not a JPG, despite the naming. /usr/bin/file says it's an ART file, whatever that is. Even the Gimp can't open it. Salsa Shark 08:51, 17 Dec 2003 (UTC)

External links modified[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to 3 external links on Dennis Tito. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
