Hi Colin, Maybe it was me who gave you the list way back then, I don't
know. Here is the list I have now. I have not been to any of these sites
but these sites keep getting posted to this art group. I will go to these
sites this weekend just to make sure they are there. I will tho give you
the list now before I forget to send you it, ok?

  This last one is Bitmaps tho. It is the newest member to the list so it
is worth a shot to go there. Take care, Jon Meluksy
