| For the not so hasty we recommend the scenic tour. The scenic tour is a list of links to pages arranged in an order that will guide you through various steps and provide you with information such as - where to find things, what you need, what needs doing, what's being done, what has been done, and how to do them. Each of these topics is linked to the next in sequential order. |
