RECOMMENDED TECHNICAL INFORMATION TO USE THIS SITE

BASIC COMPUTER SKILLS: Even though this website is not necessarily a complicated or technical website,
it is understood that the user will have basic computer skills; such as mouse skills, website navigation, email setup and composition, opening and closing files & folders and how to use a printer. I will try to make sure that any instructions are fairly simple, if something in this website is just not working for you, drop me an email and perhaps I can figure out what is wrong - after all, it might be that everyone else is having the same problem with my site and I will need to rectify it.       

INTERNET CONNECTION: Due to the large size of data and photo files in this site, we recommend using a high speed broadband DSL or cable connection - you can view this site on a regular telephone modem, but it may
take a long time for the pages to load. I have tried to keep the files to a reasonable size, but at times it is just not possible to sacrifice quality for speed. 

INTERNET BROWSER: I use Microsoft Internet Explorer.  If you are using ANY Microsoft products from operating systems to web browsers - make sure you download ALL of the current service packs and updates, this prevents nearly all undesirable popups and snoop wear.

SOFTWARE:  If you do not have the Microsoft Office® Suite [which includes Word, Excel and others] you may need to download from Microsoft the following viewers to access some of the files on this web site;
Excel Viewer:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=c8378bf4-996c-4569-b547-75edbd03aaf0&displaylang=en

Word Viewer:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=95e24c87-8732-48d5-8689-ab826e7b8fdf&displaylang=en

If you do not have a .pdf file viewer such as Adobe Acrobat® Viewer, you will absolutely need this;
Adobe Reader 9.0:
http://get.adobe.com/reader/

You may also need a Media Player - I use many but, Windows Media Player® seems to be most compatible with all file formats that I will be using in this web site:
Windows Media Player:

PROBLEMS:  This website was designed on Frontpage® 2002 and was thoroughly tested out before posting, but
sometimes things slip through.... so, if you have any problems accessing any parts of this website or you find any dead or changed links to other sites, please let me know. If you find any inaccuracies or have new information you would like to share,
Please feel free to email me from your email program to: djones@montanarailroadhistory.info 

PLEASE: Set your Spam or Junk Mail filter to accept my email address or my response will probably just get deleted by your email program.

BTW: The reason I ask you to use your email program is that the automatic email program popup does not work with my simple .ftp web server :]
