What’s with the new design? What happened to the old site? Can I still access it?

The present version of this site effectively replaces the old one. We hope it will be more responsive to your needs. We have also seen to it that the new build/design conforms to current Web standards. Needless to say, we hope you like it. ;-o

Due to limited server space, we have removed the old pages, so you will not be able to access them anymore.

What do you mean when you say the site is standards-compliant?

From maccaws.org:

Just as standards exist for almost every kind of [product or service], there exist free and non-proprietary standards for the Web. Web standards help the different parts of the Web (your computer, a Web server, your cell phone) communicate in a way that is understood by the different devices connected to it. Web standards make the Web a place where files can be read by anyone, regardless of what they are using to access the Internet.

This site was built following the published and relevant Web standard specifications. For more details, visit the W3C site.

Do I need to upgrade my browser? How do I do that?

This site uses valid, standards-compliant, device-independent code. Although accessible to any browser or Internet device, it is designed for browsers that support Web standards, and will simply render unstyled content in old browsers like Netscape Navigator 4, which has poor/buggy CSS support.

To view this site as intended, you must be using a browser that supports W3C standards, with JavaScript enabled. Your choice of software may be out of your hands, but if you do have control over what software you are using, please consider upgrading your browser to its latest version. Doing so will improve your Web experience.

The following browsers support Web standards, including XHTML, CSS, and the DOM (a universal means of controlling the behavior of Web pages):

Internet Explorer for Windows or Macintosh
Netscape (all platforms), Mozilla Firefox (all platforms), Camino (the former Chimera) for Mac OS X, or browsers stemming from Mozilla (all platforms)
Opera (all platforms)
Apple’s Safari (Mac OS X)
Konqueror (Linux KDE Desktop)

Note: This is not an exhaustive listing of browsers that support Web standards, nor an endorsement of browser compliance or of their manufacturers.

I got a “Page not found” message when accessing a page. Why?

A “Page not found” message (Error 404) means that the page you requested (either by clicking on a link within or outside this site, or by typing in a URL) can not be found on the server. The reason may be that said page has been removed, or moved to a new location, or you may have typed the address incorrectly.
