| | Here's only a small list of some of my favourite places on the web.
Although I can't exactly say I visit any of these places very regularly (I often
end up searching for something totally unrelated to what I originally logged on
to for), there are some pretty useful and well designed sites. Just now
I'm afraid I couldn't be arsed to prioritize or give even a basic description of
the sites listed below. So you're going to have to work out as much as you
can from the web site title and address.
(P.S. It isn't exactly my fault if the aforementioned facility fails to
work or even link to anywhere. To tell you the truth, I'm really only
stumbling my way through this program by bashing the keys in every kind of
random order and hoping for the best, am I really expected to know what and how
everything works, I don't think so).
