My brother's website has over 240 interesting links, in a database format, with descriptions and reviews, so I won't repeat all of them here. And, all of his links work! He has also written some moderately useful (his words, not mine) open-source site management tools, and authored some impressive and award-winning sites. Then again, I do have this nifty grey colored background and professionally (ahem) designed graphics.....
I don't get anything for promoting Opera, but it is a fantastic browser! They offer a 30 day free trial (operating days, not calendar days), and then it costs $35.00 to purchase. I love it, and it's helping me to become Bill-free, if you know what I mean. I've Just upgraded to Opera 9.10, and am checking out the new features. I'll let you know what I think, but, so far, it looks pretty good... with the exception of the icons. The old ones were fine, and didn't need to be changed, i.m.h.o.	I've found an incredible Website/HTML editor called 1st Page 2000. It's totally free, and is quite easy to use. You can also get it at ZD-Net. ZD-Net has TONS of great freeware, shareware, and exclusive titles. Download Rever-ZD while you are there, and exercise your brain a little!

Another great Bill-free application is Eudora for your mail. Eudora Light is freeware, and Eudora 6.00 Pro is available both as a purchasable version, and an ad-supported one. I'm using the ad-supported version, and the ads are really inobtrusive. And, I got to enter a contest for a year's worth of free pizza!

I have installed Seti at Home as my screensaver. Instead of watching insipidly poor animations of tropical fish with a soundtrack that mimics a running toilet, I'm actually doing something useful. Seti downloads batches of radio data from the Aricebo radiotelescope to my PC for analysis. When the block is done, Seti asks me to upload my results and get a new block downloaded. If you watched "Independence Day", you know the importance of this. Just ask Jeff Goldblum!

This is where my ICQ information USED to be. Now that AOL has owns ICQ, I wouldn't use it on any P.C. I own!!

Art, Poetry, and other self-indulgences

Shown below are some thumbnails of landscapes that I have made with Terragen, a free program available from ZDNet. The thumbnails were made with another freeware program, All Thumbs, also from ZDNet.

I, along with my late wife, have written a lot of poetry. Much like the racing article above, I have to either re-enter it all, or find a way to transfer all the files from my Apple IIe (HELP ME PLEASE!) to my PC. In the meantime, you may click here to torture yourself with some samples!
