If you are using AOL and cannot view our applets, you have to turn off graphics compression in the AOL internet browser preferences as follows:

On the AOL Toolbar:

Click Members,
Click Preferences,
Click WWW Icon (Picture of world globe), and you will see a dialog box.
Click the "Web Graphics" tab, and a page appears with the question "Do you want Web Graphics to be compressed. This will display pages faster"; under the question is a box that you "check" if you want compression, otherwise leave it blank.

If it is checked, clear it.

Your AOL browser should now be able to view java effect applets!
