However, by communicating using this website, and the resources of the INTERNET, we are able to do so much more than just talk to each other via  email.  We can talk to the WORLD!!.</div> <bR> <div> By utilizing the website, the members of the Stratford Astronomy Group can not only communicate with each other, but you can now share your experieces, your findings, photos, favorite web pages (links) etc. with each other and also with the rest of the world wide web community. The possibilities are endless. </div> <bR> <div> To use the CHAT feature just click on the chat room link on the left. This will open the chat program where you will enter  your name and then click connect.There is no other software to download or install. </div> <bR> <div> Invite only  those members you want to chat with to the chat room by sending them an email.</div> <bR> <div> Set up an online meeting in the same manner by emailing the date and time of the meeting to the whole group.</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="1" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="325" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#990000" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" ALIGN="LEFT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 117 ><NOBR><div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="271" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 69 WIDTH="196"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="69" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="196" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <A HREF="http://hubble.stsci.edu/" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://hubble.stsci.edu/"><U><IMG SRC="08f3f3f0.gif" border=0 width="63" height="63" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></U></A></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <div> <I>         </I><A HREF="http://hubble.stsci.edu/" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://hubble.stsci.edu/"><U><I><IMG SRC="08bc81b0.gif" border=0 width="200" height="27" ALT="Click here to visit the Hubble site" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></I></U></A></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 746 WIDTH="321"><div> <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#666666" FACE="Arial" >             </FONT><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFCC33" FACE="Arial" > Be sure to visit the</FONT><A HREF="http://hubble.stsci.edu/gallery/" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://hubble.stsci.edu/gallery/"><U> </U></A><A HREF="http://hubble.stsci.edu/gallery/" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://hubble.stsci.edu/gallery/"><U>Gallery</U></A><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFCC33" FACE="Arial" > to see some</FONT></div> <div>               <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFCC33" FACE="Arial" >of  the beautiful photos taken by Hubble</FONT>                  </div> <div>                                                            </div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div>            <I>Click the Hubble to see it's present location</I></div> <div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="311" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 267 WIDTH="32"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="267" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="32" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <A HREF="http://hubble.stsci.edu/fun_.and._games/where.a.s_hubble_now/" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://hubble.stsci.edu/fun_.and._games/"><U><IMG SRC="06f14f80.jpg" border=0 width="276" height="248" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></U></A></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <div>                 <IMG SRC="07940030.jpg" border=0 width="320" height="259" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="262" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="VOID" RULES="NONE" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 17 WIDTH="256"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="17" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="256" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></b></I></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
