Note: The virtual tour works best with 4.0 browsers or higher.
For most Macintosh and some PC users a small program, or plug-in,
from iPIX will speed the download time for each of the photos in
this virtual tour. If your computer does not already have the iPIX
plug-in, it will ask you if you'd like to download the plug-in.

While the plug-in downloads quickly, you may want to print out these
instructions for handy reference before you begin.
Detailed installation instructions for Netscape and Internet
Explorer versions 3.0 and higher.
If you are unfamiliar with this process, these instructions will
walk you through it. The iPIX Plug-in will take about 4 minutes to
download with a 56k modem and about 8 minutes with a 28.8 modem. The
installation program will complete in approximately one minute.
To open the iPIX PPC Plug-in installation software, Stuffit
Expander, or a similar BinHex converter, must be installed on your
computer. Stuffit Expander is usually provided with Netscape and
Internet Explorer for the Macintosh. Stuffit Expander is available
at no charge from most Macintosh software archives.
