*netPOWER contains "mirrors"of various museum Web sites. By mirroring, we mean that we've stored locally on this CD-ROM the Web pages you would see if you were cruising the Internet and accessed the particular museum's net address. We've chosen Web sites that are particularly rich in graphics, and also heavily trafficked. This way, you'll be able to easily access these sites, without having to wait as long for downloads and displays as you would if you were traveling over the net.

One thing to remember is that some of the functions of the Web pages we've mirrored on this disc may not work. For instance, image-maps (pictures that, when clicked on, link you to another page) are turned off on the CD-ROM. Also, pages that have forms on them won't work, because the Web site's server needs to process the information you send it. In addition, it is beyond the scope of this CD to mirror links that would take you to sites external to the ones we've mirrored. If a page on the CD-ROM has a link to a page that needs a site's server (like a form), or if the link is to a site that is not on the CD-ROM, the link will have this arrow by it. You can access that link if you have an active connection to the internet.
