    Hey J-H_Johansen - while MichaelN will need to be the one to reply to your question, I wanted to drop in to say that me and LiefZimmerman just took a look, and unfortunately can't restore those images (they seem to have been lost in a migration, the author is no longer with F5, and the Wayback Machine wasn't able to provide any help). Apologies for the inconvenience!
