Once a copy of the Acrobat Reader resides on your computer hard drive, simply choose which event you wish to view.  For reasons of file allocation on our server, we have broken the tour down into its seven main events, so that viewers may choose these events one at a time instead of having to download the entire file (1.2M).  In regard to downloading, it should be clarified that this isn't technically a "download," but more of a temporary cache page view (just like viewing a web page, so don't worry about any computer virus situations - - and yes, the file is virus-free.)  Unless one has a copy of the "full" Acrobat program (not a free download) then saving these files to your hard drive is impossible - this is a limitation placed on all Acrobat files by Adobe, not us!  Viewers will be able to print out the pages of the tour, but that's all.  Once the events from the tour are selected, the download will commence and the Acrobat reader should open automatically to display the file.  If not, please see the Acrobat Reader Online Guide, which can be found in the file READER.PDF in the Help folder which is in the same folder as the Acrobat Reader.  One other note to viewers, especially on America Online.  You may receive an error message relating that the system is not responding to your request fast enough.  Simply acknowledge this message (click "OK") and wait for a few moments - the Acrobat Reader should open within one minute at the most - if not, try reloading.
