Is there a way to view the picture in a better size? I can't make out the numbers, and the whole map is fuzzy. (Warning: I am NOT the most technologically-talented FReeper, so please use simple words and instructions, lol!)

Are you running a later version of netscape? If so, putting the cursor over the picture and clicking might do it.
