This web site requires a web browser. And a computer, or something like it. I'm not going to tell you you need Microsquishies's Internet Exploiter 9.0, or that you need Netscrape Nagrivator 8.2, or Oprah 12.17, though I do think you'll like Firefox. You don't need 1600x1280 pixels on your screen, but you should have at least 640x480, which you probably do, unless your "something like it" device is a PDA or other type of handheld device with a tiny screen, in which case I hope the site still looks good even though I'm not using WAP. I'm also not using Java or JavaScript (okay, possibly very slightly, and mostly for the Google Analytics) or Cascading Style Sheets or Flash or Acrobat (well, again, maybe a little Acrobat for some forms) or the newest whiz-bang lets-make-it-work-in-as-few-browsers-as-possible technologies. Okay, okay, I maybe ALSO added some Google Maps which do require some of the newer browsers, but I'm also including alternatives for older browsers, and to make it easier to do the Live Coverage I'm using Google's Picasa web hosting and can't control what they are using, and a Flash-powered gallery program that's cool but I know won't work for everyone. I'm for sure not using ActiveX in any way, shape or form! You don't need a super fast 3.8GHz Quad-Core computer on a T3 Internet connection, I suspect the site should be pretty usable on a 33MHz 386 Windows 3.1 computer running Netscrape 3.0 on a dial-up connection... if you can find one... well, at least more usable than a lot of other pages that are out there. You might need a magnifying glass to read this text, however. I designed this web site to work -- and hopefully look good -- on what you have. Please let me know if something doesn't work or doesn't look good! 96.4% (plus or minus 50%) of this web site was hand-crafted with pride using HTML and DOS EDIT or similar. Well, except for the graphics -- I didn't do a single one of them in DOS EDIT, though I was tempted; I used slighly more graphical tools for them.

Thanks to Datility for donating space for the web site!
