A few words of warining, though: Netscape gags heavily on the DHTML used in the Reading Annex.
I recommend Internet Explorer: it works.

This site utilizes a VLT (Very Large Table). It is twenty three cells wide and twenty three rows tall. It has a total width of approximately ten thousand three hundred and ninety six pixels, and a height of approximately six thousand nine hundred pixels. The cell you are currently viewing is the twenty third in the first row.

The graphics have descriptions that, sadly, cannot be seen by Mac users. PC users can simply hold the mouse over an image and the descriptive text will pop up.
                                         

At the risk of sounding partisan, I feel compelled to point out another feature available only to the PC users. Worse still, this feature is only available to those PC users who are using Internet Explorer, and even worse than that (I really am a bastard), only those PC users who are using IE -and- have a three button mouse, the third button of which, when clicked on a web page, plants a cross hair. Moving the mouse around said cross hair will cause the page to be moved with regard to the pointer's distance and position relative to it. On a VLT it's a kick.

Below is a graphical representation.
                                            Like this.
                                           
The main disadvantage to the VLT is that your browser's back button is pretty much useless.

Direct all complaints to /dev/null.
 
                                             
       
This is a plate of pasta with my friend's head on it.
 
                                   
                                             
                                             
                                             
                                             
                                             
                                             
                                           
These are my friends, Gino and Rose.
 
                                             
                                             
     
This is me, the Las Vegas skyline at night, and a bush all superimposed and stuff.
 
                                     
                   
This is my friend, Gino, looking dangerous.
