| Technical Requirements | |
| We've saved this to the last, but it is not the least. There are a few technical considerations in viewing Scribi. Scribi is a visually intensive site and, as such, uses the latest techiques in layout design and implementation. For you, that may mean newer software, which may also translate to newer hardware. If you're a diehard Mac 16 user, or are dedicated to Windows 95 on a 386 box, you'll have difficulty with this site. Even Windows 98 may be challenged running Internet Explorer 6, although frankly, we don't know - we haven't tried it. | |
| Screen/window size: | Scribi is viewed best in a 1024x768 window (or thereabouts). Just about any of the monitors sold these days - including those on notebooks - are of at least this resolution. Articles will display reasonably at lower resolutions, but the layouts will "string out" vertically. |
| Browsers: | If you haven't updated your browser for a while, now's the time. Most of the required browsers are free, so unless you're running on an ancient operating system, there should be no economic consequence. We've tested Scribi on the following browsers and operating system combinations:
Note also that you may have to enable scripts (active content) for this site. |
| Processing power/ bandwidth: | Anything that can run any of the OS's that support the above-mentioned browsers should be fine. No applets are currently required to view the site, (although we may add Flash technology in the future), and we're not currently streaming video or anything like that. Bandwith requirements aren't extravagent. If you're stuck with low bandwidth and the pages are coming up too slowly, note you can change the picture size (or existence) options in the top menu. Subscribers can set these features in their preferences, permanently. |
Scribo, ergo sum.
