We test our site with Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Chrome, and Safari.  Other browsers may also work.  We generally use san-sarif fonts.  If you need to change font size, I recommend Firefox for both PCs and MACs.  You can change fonts larger or smaller with a single keystroke and repeat for more change.  There is now a similar feature added to Internet Explorer version 8.

We use limited pop-ups but do use inline frames to add content from selected external sites.  Please set your browser to allow Pop-ups and Inline Frames from this site.
