When you arrive, background music is playing and there is a Navigation Bar at the top of your screen,
which provides quick links to pages on this site, plus it controls the music "jukebox". Here is the Bar:

If you do not see that Bar at the top of your screen, then you did not enter the site through naciente.com.
You can put the Bar up there by clicking .
The Navigation Bar stays where it is, at the top of every page, regardless of where on this site you travel, which makes it easy to get around or find your way back.

On the Home Page, an "Information Box" is only that - it reveals something
about the Linked page your mouse is hovering over. Press the Left mouse key and go there.
"Site Map" on the Navigation Bar contains a map of all major Sections on this website, which then link
to more than a thousand web pages, including those which cannot be reached through any other menu.
There are Eight selections in the juke box. Make a choice by clicking on it. A green bar will appear
above the choice indicating that the song is playing, as is seen here if your choice is the music in Song #4 :


Notice now that we have indicated two icons: the ToolBox icon, and the Speaker icon.
The first will call up the Tool Box, which will give you some options for use on this site.
The second will call the Juke Box, and information about the Music List.

Click on "Music Off" and everything will go silent, though the Navigation Bar will remain.
To see the list of songs, Click on the Speaker icon. Or click .
This site is meant to be viewed in 1024/768 screen resolution but everything is Centered so that screens of 640/480 or larger than 1024/768 will have everything in the middle to reduce panning (horizontal scrolling.)

This site is based in Athens, Georgia. We have been on the World Wide Web since its inception in 1995. Yes, the Internet is much older, but it was originally all text. The WWW revision in 1995 added images, animations, photos, videos, music, and more, plus - the main thing - Linking of pages.

But we are also older. Before the World Wide Web was, Hartman was: in the form of BBS or Bulletin Board System. You may be too young to remember that revolution, but it was a period of time (mid 80s to mid 90s) in which people had computers, and you could "log on" to someone's computer (one person at a time) with your modem (another innovation) to chat, download files, or leave messages. It was then that the phrase "log on" began. I am revealing my age. My BBS was named "Farrago". (Look up the word.) It ran "Renegade" software. It was hot.

However, WWW changed everything. We eagerly joined it, spying a technology which would change the world. Farrago ran side-by-side for another couple of years, but it was clear where everything was going. Our website won awards in those salient early years, which you can read about. The rest, as they say, is history.


This is a large website but we have positioned page menus to the left of the screen and the Navigation Bar at the top of your screen to facilitate rapid linking from one end of the site to the other.

Thanks for visiting.
