Monitor resolution should be 1024x768 or greater—800x600 is marginal. The many color photographs present are optimally viewed on monitors capable of displaying in true color (i.e., millions of colors).
Many of the files available on this website are large and download slowly over slow connection. In addition to software downloads, this is also true for certain multimedia files such as MP3 and JPG files.

The McGoodwin.NET logo incorporates our original vector graphics rendition of the Trillium ovatum, a lovely but increasingly rare flower found in the woods of the Pacific Northwest. It is one of the earliest woodland flowers to appear in the spring. It is also known as the coast trillium, or more colorfully as the Western Wake Robin (because it "wakes" the robins in the spring). We are always pleased to encounter one of these jewels of the forest.
