I would also like to explain a little about whats going on with our host "Fortune City". FC has decided to use the new DHTML process (webmaster talk meaning fancy way of doing things to a web page) to add new banners to the top of all web pages. When we first joined FC we agreed to have a banner placed on each of our pages (the location of which would be our choice). Due to this change in policy, we will be relocating unless we are able to work out something with FC. You will be notified of the new address once we decide where it will be, any suggestions? In the meantime plese make note of our short URL (web site address)
