This
site and all other websites will be easier to read in a serif face such
as Times (Mac) or TIMES NEW ROMAN (Windows).
If
you're using Navigator 3.0 , you'll see these fonts here even if your preferences
are set otherwise.
Mac
users, this site and all other websites will be easier to read if you boost
your default font size from 12 to 14 points. If lines of text appear uneven,
you've got bitmaps in your belfry. Try using a True Type font, and removing
the individual bitmaps from the suitcase containing your browser font.
Windows
users, your system presents fonts larger than actual size anyway, so stick
with the default. If the type on this page looks overly large, try going
down a point size.
Browser
Support
This
site is optimized for Netscape Navigator
4.0 and Microsoft Internet Explorer
4.0.
Hearing
Things
We
recommend Cresendo for listening
to midi files. It can be downloaded for free from the Cresendo Web Site.
If
you're using Netscape 3.0, the included Live Audio component lets you hear
any sound: Mac (aiff), Windows (wav), Unix (au), and even MIDI. Just point
and click. (Same thing with Explorer 3.0.)
If
you've upgraded to Quicktime 2.5, you don't need anything; the included
MoviePlayer converts all the above sound files to audio-only movies
that play right on your desktop.
Windows
users, simply click on the "Wav" versions of any sound file, and your operating
system will take care of the rest.
Watching
Videos
If
you're new to the web, and your browser dates back before April, 1996,
you'll need a helper application to view quicktime movies. They're available
online and free for the taking.
Mac
users, download FastPlayer
1.1, (13k) the Quicktime picker-upper, Or Peter's
Player 1.1 (82k).
For
Windows, all you need is Quicktime for Windows 3.1 or Quicktime for Windows
95.
If
you're using Navigator 3.0 or Internet Explorer 3.0, watching movies is
even easier. Point and click. (Explorer users may need to download Quicktime
first.) Apple Quicktime VR which allows you to view Quicktime Movies as
they load can be downloaded from the apple web site.
Tip:
Even with plug-ins plugged-in and turned on, you can still view
multimedia with a helper application instead of the plug-in. To do
so, just hold down the Option key (Mac) or Alt key (Windows) while clicking
on the link. This lets you keep surfing while the movie downloads in the
background.

Technical
Note
Navigator
3.0 flirts with WWW style sheets -- proposed additions to HTML allowing
web authors to control white space and fonts; a privilege page designers
have enjoyed for years.
Unfortunately,
Netscape implements spacing with proprietary tags. The World Wide Web standards
committee has also proposed style sheets, but theirs will be different
from Netscape's. Until the situation is clearified, we'll continue to control
white (or green or blue) space with tables and invisible gifs.
