Re-worked the whole web site. Got rid of the frames to allow us to be
more visible to search engines like Google, Yahoo, etc.. As many people
now have wide screen monitors, including ws laptops, I made the width of
the information on each page 1000 pixels for easier reading. This web
site is now best viewed with screen resolution set to 1024x768 or
greater. I hope members don't mind the ship's side grey??? on the sides
of the pages. |
