Best of the Web  



This section has not been updated
since 1999; there may be broken links.

To tell the truth, what's best about the internet can't be listed here.  Most of what will end up here (because this is just started) is stuff that a good library will get for you much quicker.  The best of the internet . . .  is people.  And the quickest way to real people on the web are newsgroups. If you're not familiar with newsgroups, check out deja.com

You could spend hours or weeks researching something, or you could locate a specialist who can get you straightened out in no time.  People tend to answer e-mail, too.  Ever think of contacting that famous person who changed your life?  Or the author of the book you're reading now?  To a surprising degree, people are willing to respond to perfect strangers, to offer help merely because they are pleased to do so. 

Speaking of which, do you know of any great sites that I should know about?  Mail me the location!
