Wow, that's really nice David :-) Can we look forward to seeing that in Exhibit?
A couple things I noticed (could be user error): 1. Only the top (new) timeline rendered events. I interpreted your comments to mean we'd see the "old" rendering in the other timelines. 2. For Avery Rockefeller (and presumably all images of that size?) I only see the blue circle icon (no image). The John D. Rockefeller, Jr image renders fine. I'm on WinXP SP 3 running IE 7.0.
