Enjoying the WTC website

Browser versions: The WTC website is best viewed with a modern browser enabled to handle javascript, like Internet Explorer 5 (or above), or Netscape 4 (or above). If you have one of these modern browsers, it should already be enabled to handle javascript - you don't need to "do" anything to your browser settings. Just explore and enjoy!

Monitor resolution: Our website looks best with a monitor resolution or display size of 800 pixels wide by 640 pixels high, or greater. 800 x 600 is common on monitors that measure 13" diagonally, or greater. In fact, most computers sold nowadays have a 1204 x 768 resolution on a 17" monitor. Look down at the bottom of your browser display as you read this. If you see a horizontal scrollbar at the bottom of this webpage, it means your monitor or your monitor settings are too narrow to accommodate our webpages without scrolling. Try resetting your display size.
