Site Updated: DAILY!!!

Before entering, We wish to extend a few tips for a full and worth-while visit of our domain to any new visitors. When you are finished reading this brief tutorial, feel free to simply click the above image to enter the Museum. We apologize for any inconvenience, however we need to explain a few things to save any confusion during your visit.

This site is best viewed maximized in Microsoft Internet Explorer with a screen resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels. All other browsers and screen resolutions are acceptable as well, however there may be slight differences from how this site is meant to be viewed. AOL users are urged to open Internet Explorer from their Desktop as AOL doesn't automatically update pages upon viewing, therefore you may be stuck viewing older content that has been previously updated without knowing so.

To edit your screen resolution using the Windows platform, please right-click your Desktop and click on Properties. From there a window will pop-up with your Display Properties. Click on the Settings tab and you should see a slider which you can use to manually configure how you would like your screen resolution to be presented. Next click Apply and OK to save these settings. You can reset these settings at any time by following these same steps.

To edit your screen resolution using the Macintosh platform, you will be doing virtually the same steps by accessing System Preferences through the Apple menu and from there opening the Display Panel. Once inside, click on the Displays tab and choose your preferred resolution from the list given. You can reset these settings at any time by following these same steps as well.

A key feature we have made available to you is our sizeable framework. You'll notice once inside that there is a frame going across the top, and one going down the left side. These frames will ALWAYS be visible wherever you navigate through this website. If you were to place your mouse over the inside borders (blue lines running left to right and top to bottom) of either frame, you will notice a black symbol replace the cursor. If you from there click and drag these lines, you will see you can now slide the frames as far as you please to help expand the information view of our main frame. This will come in handy more for our visitors using a resolution or browser other than what we have above suited appropriate, and users not viewing our site maximized as suggested above as well. Also, when browsing our category indexes, please keep in mind that after you click on certain categories, you just simply need to click the Back button on your browser to return to the main category of that section.

Because of new security protection schemes in newer browsers, we recommend if you receive any warning(s) that content has been blocked from viewing, to please choose to allow this content as you may be missing out on certain features (Flash based buttons and our Updates/Contests/Events Scroller) that have been implemented within our site. You are personally guaranteed on our behalf you will not be bombarded with pop-ups or ads if you allow these features on our site. Our Guestbook and Online Community Forums are hosted free through servers who require we display their ads for service. We recommend you ignore the ads on these pages as they may try to lure you into a deal "too good to be true". The Museum is not responsible for any actions taken to contradict this last statement. Also, the Museum cannot be blamed for pop-ups or ads created through previous adware/spyware exposure prior to visiting our site.

Thank you for your time and please enjoy your visit!
