Scope - The Cobourg Internet site covers
activities and entities based in Cobourg or immediate
vicinity and which have an Internet presence (web-site).
It is also the web site for the Cobourg based business Cobourg
Internet which provides Internet and Computer services
for individuals and businesses in Cobourg. Some additional
information about Cobourg is also provided as a community
service. Although every effort is made on an ongoing basis
to keep the site up to date with changes that occur, no responsibility
can be taken for any errors or omissions.
Limits of coverage of Cobourg Internet's web site
Links and references are only provided to businesses and
community service organizations that have a current web
site. They must also have a Cobourg address and phone number
for communicating with them. The limit in the East is Grafton
and Baltimore in the north. Adult oriented sites (if any!)
will not be included. Personal sites are not included (sites
without a domain name are usually considered to be personal).
Current -
when applied to a web site, current means that it
must be updated as often as is reasonable for its type. For
example, a "News" site must be updated at least
every business day. But a Retail store with no e-commerce,
should be updated at least every season (3 months).
Computer Help
Tips, links, suggestions and recommendations are provided
for goodwill and to provide some help to users before they "call
in the experts!" Although care has been taken to only
suggest reputable vendors, software, sites etc, no responsibility
can be taken for the actions of third parties.
This site provides help only for "IBM Compatible" computers
and not for Macs. Also, the focus is on systems operating
Windows XP Home or Pro (and soon, Vista!).
Design of this web site
The site has been tested on Internet Explorer 7.0 and Firefox
2.0. An effort has been made to minimize limitations from
using earlier browsers. Javascript has been used but is
not essential and can be disabled if desired. Flash is
used to a limited extent. If you experience difficulty
navigating this site, you may need to adjust some of your
browser settings. Cookies have not been used.
Documents for download from this site are in Adobe
Acrobat Reader format (.pdf suffix). If you do not yet
have this free program, you can download it here from
Adobe.
Although dial-up service is still in use in Canada, users
are either rural residents who choose not to pay the higher
fee for satellite high speed or people who use the Internet
primarily for text e-mail. Therefore, since most people likely
to view this site are now using "high-speed" (often
called broadband), this site is gradually moving to incorporate
features that work better on high speed - such as Flash and
more use of graphics.
Site Updates
There are a large number of links on this site. Any links
that are broken will normally be fixed or removed on a
weekly basis.

Payment is for services supplied and although every
care is taken, no responsibility can be accepted for any

used plus any other costs. Time is charged at $30.00 per
hour. Hosting will be priced as shown here and
domains will be priced as shown here.
Web site Reliability
Web site reliability, including availability of featured

in the market place in North America for small web sites.
