| Welcome
to the 21st Century |
We invite
you to kick back, relax and take a virtual journey to The Fort
Wine Co's award winning fruit winery via a very entertaining multimedia
slideshow.
If you have never seen a slideshow like this one, you are in for
a treat. The fusion of music, images and text means that you are
essentially watching a short movie, without the difficulty of
internet delivery of a massive file, like those generated by video.
You'll learn
about the history of the winery, tour the cranberry bogs, see
how our wine is made, and get to know more about us and our very
special products.
The tour runs
just under 4 minutes and you can exit the show at any time by
pressing ESC on your keyboard.
The slideshow
file is 6.5MB in size. On a fast (ie cable) connection download
time should be less than one minute. On a slow (ie dialup) it
will be considerably longer, and your patience will be required.
You can minimize the downloading screen and continue browsing
through the site while you are waiting for the file transfer to
finish.
The (very
cool) program used to create this slideshow unfortunately creates
shows that can not be viewed on a Mac. We apologize for this.
Your computer
needs to be equipped with a sound card to be able to hear the
music that runs through the show. Ideally, you should close down
all programs while running the show, to ensure seamless delivery.
You will also need to resize your desktop to 1024 X 768,
if you didn't already when entering this site. It's easy: Here
are easy instructions on how to do that.
| How
to Download the Slideshow |
Right
click on the following link:
The
Fort Wine Co. Armchair Journey
Your
computer will ask you whether you should Open the file, or Save
Target As.
Select
Save Target As, and save it to your computer.
A good place to save it to is on your desktop,
so you can delete it off your computer easily when you are finished
viewing it.
Your
computer will show a file transfer screen. Download time should
be very quick for people on broadband, and significantly longer
for people using dialup internet access.
Once
the file is downloaded, you should run it through your virus checker.
Although the file is clean from our end, it is always a good idea
to virus check a downloaded file before opening it.
Finally,
right click on the icon on your desktop that says Fort Wine Co.,
and select Open.
We
hope you enjoy the show.
