VIEWING

This site was originally tested with IE6 and Netscape 4.7 - however, now that IE7 and Netscape7 are freely available. I will only be testing the site in these two browsers (sorry to any others).  Netscape Internet Explorer 5
The pages will be degradable for older version. You may not see the good things but you will see the pages. Why not just get the new versions from the web, magazine disks or friends?

CONSTRUCTION
The pages have been created with DREAMWEAVER 3.0, FrontPage 2000 (but the hosting web will not allow FP extensions), tweaked HTML, JavaScript, an odd applet and CGI. Sadly I do not have the time to get my own scripts written so I make do with off the peg solutions. The writers do it for the love of it and enjoy getting their programs used in the real world, so we should support them!

SOFTWARE UP TO DATE?
The Secunia Software Inspector relies on carefully crafted Secunia File Signatures to recognise applications on your system. The detected applications are then matched against Secunia Advisory Intelligence to determine whether an application is up-to-date or not. The results are then used to advise you on how to update to more secure releases of the insecure applications. Great housekeeping program.		 Secunia Software
ARTWORK
 Pictures are taken by me using various digital cameras, including my own Panasonic. I built custom images using SERIF products, MS Image Composer 1.5, PSP6 and Illustrator8. I decided to do away with the multiple rollover images as I prefer quick download times. If you wish to use any of the images - let me know first please!

KUDOS
I do this for fun and I do not get paid. I have had a lot of great comments so far from around the world, even though I am still getting details onto the pages and trying to win a war of CGI versus the hosting server. As it is a hobby I have to do it all myself so some information may change - but that is your problem, you should always check out the places yourself. That is why the information is here.
