Remember "No Pain No Gain!"

I have found some minor problems with Netscape Navigator, but I am using an older versition. Basically, the sizes of Table Cells can be too small and the contents may hang out in space.

It is best to check your Web Pages with both major Browsers.

The Ultimate Test

Avoid doing this on Friday PM!!!!!

Go to a computer that is NOT hooked into the Bot. Dept. Server, or

Restart one of our computers but be sure to avoid linking to our server & avoid using a computer in which your files are stored!

If the computer you are using is linked to the server where your files are stored the links may seem to work OK even when they are bad! Believe Me!!!! Use Netscape Navigator or MS Internet Explorer to access your web site and Link the night away!!!!!!!!
