 -..The.IAS
and Manjushri-Mandala websites (- actually more than.500
MB) are programmed using the present standards of computer technology
(Pentium,
17" screen, quick graphic card)
and are best
viewed with.Netscape
4.70.or Bill
Gates Internet Explorer (4x upwards)
and
a high color resolution. All pages are checked against.IE
5.5.but look
not identical with the Nestcape version. Unbelievable but reality: all
follow-up Netscape versions (4.71-4.77, 5.0, 6.0) have some difficulties
to display Composer designed pages! - If you view this sites using an older
computer generation or on a small screen or with a less known or rather
'antique' browser you will get all basic informations but the visual display
could have a reduced quality, show some graphical
distortions,
various disformations and could have longer loading times. We are *very*sorry
for possible problems of this kind, caused by the speedy developments of
computer technology and having no common standards between the different
browsers.
-..Beside.our
oldtimer called 'Aspargus'
(having a slim and high tower) for lo-tech testing (486 DX2 100 MHZ, 32
MB RAM, 15" Monitor, NT 4.0) we basically use 2 Gateway 2000 computers.
-..Our.new
flagship, honored with the name 'Manjushri':
Pentium III, 21" monitor, 19GB, 386 MB RAM, Windows NT 4.0 - Service Pack
5.0 and our upgraded Gateway, called 'Peng'
(switching him on the first time his transformer exploded dramatically):
Pentium II, 17" monitor, 15 GB, 256 MB RAM, Windows NT 4.0 - Service Pack
5.0. All 3 monitors have Sony Triniton inside.
For designing we mainly use the 17" monitor version
('Peng').
-..To.surf
our sites you need at least a HTML 3.2 (or later) compatible browser and
a screen resolution of at least.1024
x 768 pixels in 32768 colors and on full
screen.(- for
small monitors, - reduced screen for huge monitors).
IE users may have to decrease their viewing size (one step below "medium").
-..Warning.!!!:.If
you are afraid of colors please put your sunglasses on or simply put a
cover over your monitor! In case you are colorblind you may see our pages
in a completly different way they originally were designed. Sorry for this.

-..This..site
is created by two crazy Buddhist cyber-monks:.Hans.(art
concepts, site-design, contents, keeping a broad view).and.Thomas.(-
webmaster/ -struggeling with the technical aspects of webdesign). In the
early stage (98) we were initiated into some mysteries of web-design by
Tobias
Ferber (dedicated programmer of the Taeger-Archives,
technical tips),.Varina
Gellrich.(some
artistic tips),.Dorje
Taktzak
(who painted many of the Buddhist
illustrations for us) and others. We don't know if this initiation was
a good idea, but thank you! -
- Enjoy.our
pages. We worked very hard on them, keeping
in mind to create a balance between text and visual informations and to
bring over the magick in the spirit
of libra and Venus. -
