The Think Mills™ Web site:
How best to view it
• 800x600, maximum colors, minimum toolbars
IAlthough some of the older pages on this site were designed for the
then-standard 640x480 resolution, this site is now best viewed at a standard
800x600 full-screen resolution with a high color setting, such as
16 Bit High Color or 24 bit True Color, with as
few tabs/buttons/toolbars as possible. You may view it at the older,
256-color setting, but be aware that you are not seeing it as it is designed,
and some of the graphics will appear fuzzy or mottled. If you want to see
this and other sites as they are designed but don't know how to change your
color settings and/or switch between 640x480 and 800x600 (the two most common
Web-site design formats), you might want to ask your office
or local computer guru friend for help.In Windows 98, for example, you can click the Start button, Settings, Control Panel, Display, Settings tab, and then the "down arrow" (triangle) after the current Colors setting to choose the highest number of colors your graphics card supports (at the bottom of the drop-down list). If you need to, drag the Screen area arrow to the far left to the 640 by 480 pixels setting.
Note: If you change your resolution ("Screen area") and the upper right-corner Minimize | Restore/Maximize | Close buttons [minus sign, box(es), x] disappear in any window open at the time, simply right-click on its name on the taskbar and click Minimize and then Maximize and the buttons will reappear.
To
view the page full-screen in recent versions of
Internet Explorer, you can
click View, Full Screen (and then the restore button to
return to normal) or try the F11 key. Otherwise, you can try View,
Toolbars and be sure at least Standard Buttons and
maybe Address Bar are "clicked off."
To
view the page full-screen in recent versions of
Netscape, you can click
View, Show, and be sure at least Navigation
Toolbar and Personal Toolbar and maybe Navigation
Toolbar are "clicked off."
To
view the page full-screen in
Netscape Navigator 3+, you can click Options and make sure that
Show Toolbar and Show Directory Buttons and maybe
Show Location are "clicked off."
• Java and JavaScript
If you are at this page because the homepage told you you needed to come here, it's probably
because you don't have JavaScript enabled on your
browser (or maybe because your browser doesn't support Java and JavaScript).
Most Web sites these days (including this one) use JavaScript to add special
features to the viewed page and to make it look correct in both Netscape and
Internet Explorer. When Java and JavaScript first came out, some people had
concerns that it could be misused to damage their computer; and, therefore, an
option was given to turn it off. Today, most sites depend
upon Java and especially JavaScript so much
that some browsers apparently do not even have this "off" feature.
If you are at this page because the homepage told you you needed to come here, it's probably
If JavaScript was disabled on your browser, you probably know how to enable it. If you don't know how to enable Java and JavaScript on your browser, you might want to ask that computer guru friend to help you with that, also. However, if you know how to change your browser's Preferences, you can check the various options until you find something like "Enable JavaScript" and "Enable Java"; then make sure both are selected (for example, have an x or a checkmark in the box before them).
If you are using an old browser that does not support JavaScript, this might be a good time to upgrade. Just click the link below to go to the upgrade page.
