| We've just upgraded our computers and acquired an iPad. We've noted that some of our web pages are garbled when viewed by Explorer 9 or using the Vista, Windows 7 and iOS5 operating systems. We've found a solution, but it requires modifying each and every item on each and every web page. So, please be patient...we're working on it. ;-) |
