The site's optimized for 1028x764 display resolution, because most of the newer computers come that way now, with windows xp and all...  (But we still want it to look great at 800x600 ;)

So what you can do is either change your display settings, or else you can right click on the link you want to open, instead of just clicking it, and then on the menu that pops up click on "Open in New Window"   which will give you the item in full screen, in a new instance of the browser.  Then when you're done with that item, just close the whole window & you'll be back to the home page...

You can also right click on the rotating graphic in the upper left corner and then open the whole home page in a new window, which will break most of the entire site out of the frames.

Thanks!

(PS -- changing the resolution makes everything look small for the first hour or two, because you're used to the 800x600 resolution... but after that everything looks better & is easier to get around on, once you get used to it :)
