Technical Specifications






Technical Specifications to Become a Satisfied Tennisplayer Subscriber

Tennisplayer is a broadband, multi-media site. We couldn't do what we do without pushing the edge of the internet envelope,and to take advantage of the resources of the site, there are certain technical requirements:

  • A fast internet connection
  • A minimum amount of computer horsepower

  • PC Pentium 3 800 megahertz (hopefully faster)
  • Windows XP or 2000
  • Browser: Internet Explorer 6.0 or Firefox 1.0 and above

  • Mac G3 800 megahertz (hopefully faster)
  • OS 9 and Netscape 7.0 or above
  • OS X 10.2.8 and Safari 1.0 or above, Firefox 1.0 and above

  • Some key pieces of software QuickTime Player 6.0 and Flash 7 (or above), both of wich are Free. Preferably you want "QuickTim Pro" that you can buy as a download from Apple.com for $29.99.

If you don't currently have DSL or a high speed Cable connection, you are going to have a very long and painful wait to download Tennisplayer articles or Stroke Archive movies. Even with a fast connection it usually takes a few seconds to get the pages or movies because they have so much awesome imagery.

Believe me, you want that fast connection anyway even if you don't know it yet. You can still subscribe if you're on dial up. Just don't send me any email complaining about the download times.

As far as the other stuff, if your computer is 2 years old or less, you probably have everything you need. But because of the nature of the content, it's still possible you could run into problems along the way. If you do, you can let us know and we'll do our best to help you figure it out. The truth is that it's not uncommon to experience some problems and frustrations out there on the cutting edge. We've had our share of them figuring all this out, but we think the result is more than worth it.
