Technical
Manics.nl was built using Adobe's MX versions of Dreamweaver, Fireworks and Flash. photoshop 6 was used incidentally. Flash movies require the free Flash Plugin. RealPlayer is also free for download. This site does not intentionally discriminate against any browser. It is fairly graphics-intensive and looks a lot better on a monitor set at a resolution of at least 1024x768 pixels and True Color. yes, manics.nl was built on a pc and no, we do not check if it looks good on a macintosh or when using uncommon or aged browsers. but If you're having trouble with anything, please let us know.
The website was designed using the Verdana true type font. (The graphics incorporate the fonts 'Everything Must Go', 'Holy Bible', 'generation terrorists' and 'forever delayed').
