Aquarius Web Site - Richard Cannon
   The Aquarius web site is an excellent source of historical data. Race results go back to 2000, newsletters to 1999 and Trophy records to 1952. If there are any errors or entries missing please let the webmaster (Richard Cannon 01932 786636) know. Also please let the him know if you have problems displaying pages.
   There are a number of alternative free browsers to Microsoft Internet Explorer that are recommended as less likely to be attacked by hackers and viruses. Some are Netscape, Opera and Firefox; these are generally more compliant with standards than Internet Explorer and have more features.
   I have been using Firefox since the start of 2005 and it is excellent. FireFox and Opera allow web pages to be opened in Tabs so you can return to them and  pages will zoom to change the text size. Although IE gives an option to change text size it doesn’t change much on many pages. If text overlaps images try changing the text size.
   I am also using a new program to generate some web pages (free Open Source Nvu) and they may behave differently; it is important that I am informed of any problems.
