This information has been requested by some IT personell, to know how computers should be setup to get the best out of sign planet. Most computers need no special setup.

SignPlanet.net has been designed to be used on the most basic of computers. Broadband is highly recommended.

Basic Requirements:

• A computer with an internet connection
• A Web Browser must be installed (see below)
• Adobe Acrobat: This free PDF viewer is required to view most of the pre-made resources. Other viewers can be used, but have not been extensively tested. You can download acrobat here
• Flash: even an early version should be able to view our video clips. The site will work without it, but you will not be able to view the video files without it. You will be prompted to install Flash if it is not already on your computer, and yes, it's free
• JavaScript must be enabled. It is enabled by default on all tested operating systems, so unless it has been turned off for some reason, you will be OK
• Screen resolution: We recommend at least 800x600, which is a low specification these days
• Broadband Connection: While this site is highly optimised to increase speed by decreasing the size of files (and thus also your data costs), it is dealing with many images and video as well, so more speedis better. The most basic ADSL account is 256 Kilobits per second, and we would consider this the minimum. If your are in an area without broadband, we would suggest looking at a wireless connection (if available) or even a satelite internet connection. We have used both these methods and found them highly suitable for SignPlanet. Government subsidies are available.
