Some of the features of our website are enhanced using Java software. The Java software plug-in allows you to run applications called "applets" that are written in the Java programming language. These applets allow you to play online games, chat with people around the world, calculate your mortgage interest, and view images in 3D. We use applets for displaying dynamically structured menus of our inventory and knowledge-base links.  

Due to legalities, Microsoft has discontinued including the Java VM (Virtual Machine) in new Windows installations, requiring a separate download from the Java creators, Sun Microsystems. The plug-in is free and just takes a couple of minutes to download in most cases. It will work with Macintosh, Linux, UNIX, and Windows(98 2nd Edition, ME, NT, 2000, and XP)

It may be necessary for you to Refresh our main page in order to activate the applets on that window.

If you can actually SEE our store menus, but are still experiencing problems with getting them to work, it is possible that you must first activate them. Windows XP with security pack 2 has a new security feature which forces the user to enable Active X controls and other components such as Java applets before they will work.
