Yes, they are still there and I'm planning to upgrade (the size) them soon. 
Also, they are only a part of images I took in 2004 and I was just too lazy 
to select and process the rest. I will have the others processed during the 
"upgrade". BTW, they are at:

Same here, I found very little adjustment is required for the E-1 images. At 
the mean time I also have problem with monitor change, there are thousands 
of re-scanned negative image files waiting for adjustment.

I'm trying to do the same but has to wait until I get an Olympus again, may 
be a E-40 or EP3 with built-in electronic viewfinder.
