What
is a forum?
In a forum, people send messages to each other in
a way that is similar to posting a note on a bulletin
board for others to read later. Other people can reply
to any of these messages with their own comments.
These online conversations are known as message threads,
and each thread has its own subject. You can read
messages that others have sent and post a reply to
the forum, or if you wish you can start a new topic.

What
is PDF and how do I get it?
PDF (Portable Document Format) is a file format
for describing documents such as leaflets and booklets.
To view PDF files, you need a PDF viewer. Your computer
may already have the viewer installed - to see if
the computer already has the viewer, try downloading
the PDF file. If you do not already have a PDF viewer
installed on the computer, you will need to download
and install a Adobe Acrobat Reader, which is available
free for download at the
Adobe web site.

What
is Shockwave and how do I get it?
In some parts of this site we use Shockwave which
is free software available from Macromedia. It only
takes a few minutes to download and install, then
you don't even have to think about it. You may already
have it as it now comes already installed onto your
computer when you buy it. If you can see the clouds
moving on the top of this screen, then you have the
player. If you can't see the clouds moving, then visit
the
Shockwave download site to download the player.
