Historical Background
The figures that were formerly in this section were created from the statistics generated by the AWStats program offered online by our web host.
One of the major changes that occurred when AMHosting moved our site to a new server was that we no longer have access to AWStats, the statistics program we used for years.
The downside is that we can no longer compare apples to apples when looking at our historical data. The good news is that we have had Google Analytics set up on the site for some time, so we can still maintain a long-term overview by looking at this service.
Tutorials

Engineer, entrepreneur and inventor, the long-time President of the Perfect Circle Corporation in Hagerstown, Ralph Teetor, changed the way America drives with his invention of cruise control.
