Local stations are named for the community or areas they serve, such as New Paris, Middlebury, ect. Content at these station points is about the local community. We are presently working to recruit volunteer writers and news sources in these communities.
One of the great advantages of Web page media, like The Communication Station, is the ability to link from the page your on to anywhere in the world. Connection time often depends on the length of distance to the linked site, and the amount of traffic on the Internet. Usually you can get from here to China in a matter of seconds. How fast the information displays on your screen depends on the RAM memory and operating speed of your computer and modem. Local links within CStation's system are the fastest links. Links often look like blue colored underlined words. Sometimes they look like buttons or icons (little pictures such as the train sign at the bottom of the opening Hi Neighbor page below).
A good number of CStation pages are divided by frames. (Those gray boxes with arrows and scroll bars on the side and sometimes on the bottom.) The good news is that frames can allow you to view more things, the bad news is you see less of each web page because of the frame. Criders can enlarge or make each frame smaller by sliding your modem until your arrow is over a gray dividing bar, holding down on the right button of your mouse, and dragging the bar.

Something people really need to use when riding the Web. A lot of the information on the Web, especially that carried in user groups, e-mail, and on personal web sites just isn't trustworthy. Even we here at CStation get confused sometimes. There are millions of web pages out on the internet. Computers can trace every site you log onto and file every bit of information you give or write on the net. Some companies, in fact, make a business out of storing such info. A lot of the horror stories you hear about the Web are blown out of actual importance. Still, when traveling the net don't write or visit any site you wouldn't want to own up to in public.
