CREDITS
(or: How I Built This Website)

As the web evolved, this site fell behind and a new site was created by another member of the club. Unfortunately, that site was created on a proprietary platform that underwent some ownership changes. That person is also no longer in the club and all attempts he's made to turn it over to us have failed. That being said, we've decided to fall back to this site which required MASSIVE updating.

Although Netscape Composer lives on in the Mozilla Seamonkey project there are other products out there that are more up to date and easier to use. Adobe dropped Flash support a LONG time ago and the pre-canned Perl scripts we were using no longer worked under the modern iteration of the language. Almost all of the external links we referenced were also no longer valid.

All the Flash videos were converted to the free-license VP9 format which is supported by all major browsers EXCEPT whatever Apple provides for the iPhone or iPad (they work just fine in MacOS). The Perl CGI scripts were re-written in REXX as that is the scripting language of which I am most familiar. Since REXX's roots are in the mainframe world, backwards compatibility with updated interpreters should not be an issue as they were in Perl. We are also being hosted back on our Connetrix platform as they were nice enough to install REXX for me for this purpose.

This page was composed and formatted in LibreOffice Writer, but the majority of the updates were done with a simple text editor.

The old website was also considerably updated in its original form by Mike Epp (who is still with us). This current iteration is largely his design. The only issue we have with it right now is that it is not "Mobile Friendly;" you're best off viewing this site on a real computer. We're working on that.

Thanks for visiting and enjoy your stay!
