just a quick note to help assist your visit...

in order to provide more functionality, this site has been optimized for browsers which will accept the following:

• frames
• css
• javascripts [for shopping cart, etc.]
• tables [few]
• 1024 x 768 monitor setting [800 x 600 minimum]

this means using:

• Microsoft Explorer v5.5 or newer [v5 should work]
• Firefox
• Netscape v6 or newer
• Opera v7 [should work but not tested at this time]
• you may want to increase your monitor settings to 1024 x 768 if it isn't already

older browsers will handle some of the functions but not handle others and may do strange things.

Statistics are showing there are now more people using monitors configured to 1024 x 768 than at 800 x 600
If you're visiting more websites and finding you have to scroll sideways to view the complete webpage, those websites are probably optimized for 1024 x 768 or higher and it's very likely your settings are less.
This website will work at 800 x 600 but looks somewhat better at the higher setting even though it hasn't been specifically configured for it ...yet. <g>

Most graphics/photos here have also been optimized... they should load fairly quickly and still look relatively decent.
The the loading speed will naturally depend somewhat on your connection to the web and how far away you are.

Hope your visit here is an enjoyable one!
