PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION CAREFULLY

This site contains a shopping cart system that allows you to purchase products online via a secure server. As of December 31, 1999, certain web browsers will display error messages when performing secure transactions. This is due to the systematic expiration of Periodic Root Certificates (click here to learn more about Certificates). There is a possibility that you may experience problems when trying to make a secure transaction. If you intend to purchase products on-line from this site or any other site, we strongly reccomend that you upgrade to one of the following browsers.

Macintosh:
system requirements - MacOS 7.6.1 or later on a 68030 or greater or PPC with 16Mb RAM

Netscape Navigator & Communicator 4.0.5 and older (including 3.x browsers) should be upgraded.
click the browser you wish to download      Netscape Navigator 4.08     Netscape Communicator 4.7

Internet Explorer requires version 4.5 in addition to Microsoft's security patch which can be downloaded at http://www.microsoft.com/mac/iesecissue/. If you are running a version of IE older than 4.5 you must first download version 4.5.

PC:
system requirements - Windows 95 or later with 16Mb RAM

Netscape Navigator & Communicator 4.0.5 and older (including 3.x browsers) should be upgraded.

Possible security error messages:
Netscape:
Certificate Authority Is Expired
www.springhillmedia.com is a site that uses encryption to protect transmitted information. However, one of the Certificate Authorities that identifies this site has expired.

Internet Explorer will not necessarily display a security certificate error message. Some versions of Explorer will display a message box, specifically Internet Explorer 4.01 for Macintosh. The message may read:

Unable to establish a secure connection to "www.springhillmedia.com." There is a problem with the security certificate from that site (The identity certificate has expired.) The information you view and send will be readable to others while in transit, and it may not go to the intended party. Continue loading this page?

For PC, a message will probably not be displayed (esp. if win, 98), but the user should still upgrade (or get the patch from ms.com) if using IE 4.5 or older, especially if using windows 95.

IMPORTANT NOTE: this is NOT a Y2K bug. Coincidentally, midnight of December 31, 1999 is the time and day certain vendors have chosen for certain certificates to expire.
