Tips On Using This Site

TIPS

1. Browser Version
This site is best viewed using Netscape 4.0 or Internet Explorer 4.0, or higher versions of these browsers. Older versions may not display the content properly or in some cases may not display all of the content. These newer browsers also support the Java programming language, which this site makes use of. You get updated copies from Netscape or Microsoft for free. Navigator has a built-in mail program, whereas Internet Explorer doesn't.

Download Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer.

2. Screen Resolution
Your screen resolution should be set to at least 800 x 600 mode. You can set/check this by opening StartMenu/Settings/ControlPanel/Display. Choose the settings tab and set your Desktop Area to at least 800 x 600 resolution. Set the number of colours as high as you can, preferably 65536 colours (16 bit colour) or higher. This will display the images used on this site properly.

3. Navigation
When returning back to a previous page, the use of the Back button on each page will get you there faster because it simply reloads the page from memory. This will speed up your browser. You can also use the Site Map to find a particular page more quickly.

4. Printing
Since this web site was designed to be viewed at a minimum 800 x 600 resolution, the pages are forced to be fairly wide and the text may be clipped off the right hand side of the printout. When printing a page, you will have to set your left and right margins towards 0 in Portrait mode, or print in Landscape mode.

Why The Internet?

The Internet has developed at an incredible pace over the the past few years. While impressive, the browsers that allow us to view the Internet so attractively are not compelling enough to attract the growth the Internet has seen. What really draws people to the Internet is the ability to provide open, worldwide communication; effortlessly and instantaneously.

The Internet is all about connecting people with other people, not machines with machines. For the first time in history, virtually anyone is able to easily and inexpensively present their ideas to a global audience of millions, or chat with someone from the other side of the world or maybe just the other side of one's own town.
