If you have set Internet Explorer security to High, or if you disable JavaScript in your browser, or
you are using a browser without support for JavaScript,
the appearance of all content should be normal,
but you will not have access to the very helpful dropdown menu for navigating our site, nor will
you be able to use "Go Back" buttons,
that return you to your last page, some helpful
dialog windows, or our email contacts. We are using
scripts to hide them (preventing spam) from web
robots. No Java Classes or ActiveX Controls will
be downloaded to or executed from your computer.
In addition, no cookies will be set, no 'web bug'
images are present. We absolutely guarantee that
nothing hostile is present.
To set your browser to the default level, go to Tools, Internet Options, Security, and press the "Default Level" button.
The "Javascript danger" is really a
browser issue. The fear of this widely used internet
programming language results mostly from the discovery
of security holes in browsers and e-mail clients,
especially Microsoft Internet Explorer and Outlook.
Rather than disable Javascript, it is important
to have the latest browser and keep it updated.
Javascript is there simply to enhance the appearance
and performance of the sites you visit. By disabling
JavaScript you will miss the entire web experience
as it is designed to be seen, and you will lose
all interactivity from mouseover effects, to form
input, and everything in between.
If you
are using AOL, or your browser is older than Netscape
6, Internet Explorer 5, or Opera 7, you will have
problems viewing this and other state-of-the-art
websites since new websites use techniques not
supported bysome of these browsers.
Some AOL browsers, by default, have Javascript
turned off. Here's how to turn it on...
The press release
pages have been designed to
give you a pleasant viewing experience on the screen,
while conserving ink when you print. To accomplish
this, we have used some of the latest standard
CSS and JavaScript code. Older browsers will not
always understand what to do when they try to run
this code, so you may get weird results. Therefore,
we recommend that you always get the most recent
version of your favorite browser for best results
on this, and other websites. My preferences are
Mozilla and Firefox.
To protect our email from spam, we use JavaScript
to encode the addresses, you will need to have JavaScript turned on in order to email us and also
to use other features of this site.

Updating a browser is easy,
and you can switch to a different browser if you
prefer.
PC Browsers:
The four most common PC browsers,
and their download sites are:
Foxfire http://www.mozilla.org/
Opera http://www.opera.com/
Netscape http://browser.netscape.com/
Internet Explorer http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.mspx
(Also, here's the address for
AOL if that's what you use:
AOL http://free.aol.com/tryaolfree/cdt.adp?139331 )
If you have an older (and therefore,
slower) computer, you might be better going with
Foxfire. But it is your choice. All four
browsers are free (Opera has some unobtrusive ads
which are removed in the paid version).
And you can have more than one
browser on your computer (I have all four!)
Mac Browsers:
I'm on a bit of thin ice here,
since I am not a Mac user, but here are some references
to browsers for the Mac:
For a listing of all the browsers
for the Mac, and comments about them, go here
Apparently, Microsoft IE Version
5 has some problems; to get IE
Version 5.1.7 or 5.2.3, visit
here.
You can apparently also use
Netscape, Opera or others. I don't know how they
will work. Let me know!
Javascript:
Again, some of the older browsers
do not support Javascript, or you may have disabled
Javascript. Disabling JavaScript is sometimes done
to eliminate those annoying popup ads. (The Google
and Yahoo toolbars will block popups.)
This site uses JavaScript for the navbar menu,
to hide email addresses from spammers and to go
to some outside links. You will not be able to
access parts of this site or send email without
Javascript!
