My Information Adventures on the Internet
Every now and then, I search through the vast repository of information on the internet, and find many good sites.
One day, I decided that I will be putting up what I find, so that I can return to it later....but within 2-3 days I found out that its *too much* trouble. So I stopped adding to this page. But still page has some good links worth looking.
If you have nothing to do at the moment, just try some of these links.
No link is guaranteed to work.
(You can also try looking at my current Netscape 6.01a for Solaris Bookmarks)
