 Printing
/ Downloading
When we think our visitors would want to print the information we
are presenting in our website, we make it available in Adobe format
(.pdf).
To print the PDF document, left click on the link, then click on
the printer icon. Or you can left click, then click on
File/Print.
To download a PDF file to your computer's hard drive, left click
on the link, then click on the save icon (looks like a disk).
Enter the filename and click Save. You can also right click,
then "Save Target As" (Internet Explorer) or "Save Link As"
(Netscape). Enter the filename and click Save.
To print information on a page in our website where a PDF is not
available, highlight what you want printed, click on File/Print,
then select "Selection" under Print Range. This will allow
your selection to print without the graphics.
(Note that the above outlined options may not be
available on older browsers.)
Technical
Stuff
We've optimized our imagery as much as possible without affecting
the quality of the graphics. This minimizes slow download
times. In addition, graphics are also sliced optimally to
minimize slow download times.
Our website was designed so that is can be viewed as easily at
800x600 resolution as 1024x768. No need to scroll left/right
at the lower resolution.
Some links in our website open new browser windows on your
computer. Unfortunately, this technology is similar to the
approach used for those annoying pop-up and pop-under
advertisements. If you are using a pop-up blocker software on
your computer, this content may not be displayed. To work
around this problem, simply suspend the operation on the pop-up
blocker software, open the page, then re-engage your pop-up blocker
software.
Accessibility
We thought is was important to make our website accessible.
Websites are accessible if they can be used as effectively by people
with disabilities as by those without. A sighted visitor will
not even notice, though. The steps taken to make a website
accessible are "behind the scenes."
