Only images of parts in the 12 colors that have colored images have been
converted. The others you see are the old images.

I hope noone is dissapointed with this change. We could always revert back to
the one-color images, they are still there and it would take minimum effort.
I hate to do all this uploading again. It took me 4 days to download zip
files from Troy's site and upload the images to Brickbay via 56K connection.
I was hoping to let it run overnight but the FTP seems to have a 1,000 file
limit at a time.
