ally curious, the site is based on IIS 3.0 (using Active Server Pages) and has a 2GB SQL Server database. It looks superb in Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.02 and provides a rich source of information on everything Irish.\par

One of my favourite sections is that on the wonderful Irish scenery where Microsoft ActiveX technology comes into its own. An opening view of the landscape around Wicklow is displayed first. Then you can click on the image and dr
ag your mouse to get a panoramic view in any direction, over the hills or across the lake. If you had a glass of stout in your hand it would be almost as good as being there.
