Tzafon USY Online is backwards-compatible -- that is, it will work with any browser or Internet device known to mankind. A screen-reader (a tool that reads a website aloud for blind people) and a braille converter will have absolutely no problem accessing this site and converting it to an understandable medium to the person on the other end. In fact, if you view this website in Lynx, a text-only browser (no images, no colours, no nothing), you will be able to navigate it and find your vitally needed information just as easily as with the latest version of Internet Explorer.

However, some browsers/Internet devices comply with web standards more than others and will display this page more prettily than others. You will be able to access the content with any device; though whether you will see the design (which isn't too shabby, by the way, if you happen to see it) is merely a question of the standards-compliance of your browsing tool. No need to worry, you can still find what you need...

Game Zone?

In order that you might have something else to do while getting USY news... we've implemented the Game Zone.

We don't have our own yet. The link will take you across the country to Far West's Game Zone, but you'll be able to see what it looks like.

Enjoy!

GO TO THE GAMES!

we won!

hi everyone,
i just thought i'd let you know that our region won an international award recently. Tzafon has won the title of "Most Connected Region of the Summer". It's a communications award, and this never could have been possible without the help of our wonderful techies Max and Mor!

PS. We finally beat CRUSY at something other than awesomeness!
PPS. Hope you're coming to NMI and Fall!
