Done.

Maybe.  Currently I just take a screen shot (which is trivial in OSX).
One *can* right now from Javascript easily get the current orientation and zoom
in jmol, and that could be used to generate a nice static image using tachyon3d.
(This is not implemented yet though.)

This has been reported about 5 times.  That button is FLAKIE.  Tom Boothby,
help!

The servers at
    https://sage.math.washington.edu:8101
    https://sage.math.washington.edu:8102
    https://sage.math.washington.edu:8103
are all still running. But sagenb.* all point to 8101.  You can still
access the old urls
to migrate your worksheets, etc.
