Interesting Links

Here are some links that have struck me as being some of the most interesting on the net. I hope you enjoy them.

Ben's Virtual Mall

Shopping the WEB is fun, and a lot easier than shopping in Glasgow, Montana! Here are some stores that serve up goodies you can't buy locally.

Just Cool

These are various places I found particularly interesting or useful. Hopefully, you'll feel the same way.

	Banner Generator - want to make a banner? Here's a great way to start an online presence. The banners are pretty simple, but you can jazz them up in a paint program or image processing program (such as ours!)
Boomer Bible	If you must get your life rules from a book, try this one...
	An online newsletter for Win95 users - very useful! I've found several programs reviewed here (little capsule reviews) that I now use all the time. It's fun to read, also - rather irreverent.
Shareware	Shareware.com - Shareware for Win95 and other Microsoft OS's
Tiger Maps	US Gov't map generation server - your taxes at work
Wired	News of the WEB
USA Today	News of the World
Weather	Glasgow page at The Weather Channel Website
Windows95.com	Outstanding shareware/freeware site for Win95 users

Search Engines

A lot of the WEB's power is in its diversity; yet there also lies the problem. There's so much "stuff" out there, how can you ever find what you're looking for?

The answer is, search engines. Some are better than others, and the group I've selected here are, in my (humble) opinion, the absolute best of the best.

Engine	Description
Alta Vista	Search a large portion of the WEB for keywords
Dejanews	Search archived newsgroups for keywords
Yahoo!	Search registered sites for keywords
