This website was coded with the World Wide Web Consortium recommendations in mind. To make these pages as compatible as possible for future technologies, it does not use frames, font tags, table layouts or proprietary plugins.

Unfortunately, some browsers suck. Some are just old. This site checks your browser and if it can't handle the standard features, all you will see is text on a white background. Sorry, but I prefer not to write websites twice - you still get all the information though.

Quality browsers in order of preference include the latest versions of: Firefox, Netscape, Safari and Opera.
