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.

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.
