At some point iris1.ucis.dal.ca is connected to the rest of the Internet
via a 19200 baud link.  *Slow*.  It took me more than an hour to download
all 24 images (I left after an hour had passed).

Anyway, to help spread the load and keep from tying that link up, I've made
the shuttle gifs available on ftp.cis.ksu.edu in ./pub/shuttle.gif.  They'll
stick around for at least a week.

The pictures themselves are fairly good.  Worth looking at, at least.
Thanks, Greg, for your work.

Tim
