Ithaca's Electronic Village

If you're on a speedy connection, click here for the high bandwidth version.

Glad you made it! Ithaca may not have Ethernet or fiber optics wired to every house and school, but we're certainly more well connected than most cities our size. This page doesn't have all of the whiz bang techical tricks that a major corporate site does (yet) but here you can easily get involved in the local Itahca online scene. This site has been designed with minimal graphics to keep your browser happy! One common attitude we find with Internet users is that they don't think twice to use it to find out what is happening at a museum in Paris, but don't consider using the net to find out more about what's going on in their own back yard. Don't be a web defector! Surf the LOCAL WEB!

A tip on frames: if you want to go "back" some browsers' back button won't work properly. Try instead with a Mac to hold down the mouse button in the frame until the "back in frame" is selected. On the PC use the right button. If you don't want to deal with frames, click here.
