Unsupported browser versions:
Internet Explorer or Netscape versions lower than 4.
AOL browsers (use AOL for dialup, and then insert URL on supported browser).

Notes:

When a new instance of a new browser window is called for from a link, a smaller window should appear. The size is variable and probably depends on the local machine's last viewed size of the browser window.

The QuickTime player should be installed both as a plug in and as an independent application. The CONNECT site defaults to the application so that the media windows are placed at the top left of the screen with only once instance of the media player open and the control buttons are consistent. If the browser overrides this default, multiple windows of the media player will appear. These should be closed as the user moves along.

Popups are integral to the site. If you have a popup blocker activated, you will need to set it so that popups are allowed on the CONNECT site.
