A Note About Web Browsers
This web site is best viewed in a recent version of Microsoft Internet Explorer (at least 5.0) or Netscape Navigator (at least 6.0). The best experience can be had by simply downloading the latest version of one of these two browsers. Both are free, and will make many of the other web sites you visit look and work better - especially if you are using an early version of Netscape (4.8 or lower).
Please note: The vast majority (well over 95%) of people browsing the web today use a recent version (IE 5.x or 6.x, or NN 6.x or 7.x) of either Microsoft Internet Explorer, or Netscape Navigator. In order to cut costs and provide the best possible viewing experience for our users, this site has been developed and tested with this in mind.
Microsoft Internet Explorer
Download from: http://www.windowsupdate.com
Internet Explorer is part of the Windows operating system, so you probably already have a version of it on your computer if you use a PC. Even so, visit the Windows Update site via the link above to make sure you have the latest version and all available patches and fixes.
Netscape Navigator
Download from: http://channels.netscape.com/ns/browsers/download.jsp
Navigator has been greatly improved since the old 4.x series of browsers. Many sites (including this one) may not work properly or will be extremely slow to render pages unless you have upgraded to one of the newer (6.x, 7.x) versions of this browser. Visit the link above to download the latest version of Netscape Navigator.
