18 Mar 95 - updated links for Yahoo (from akebono.stanford.edu to www.yahoo.com), Lycos, and WWW (info.cern.ch to www.w3.org); interlaced all GIFs, misc. maintenance and checks.
19 Feb 95 - updated the cyberatlas, moved the MIDS World map to cyberatlas; added the link to MIDS cyberspace map (which I just found!)
20 Jan 95 - updated linkes for moved hosts/moved pages
03 Dec 94 - added CyberAtlas
11 Nov 94 - added WAIS and WAISGATE directory of servers to key word searching; moved directory of servers to connecting with people.

22 Sep 94 - reorganized Subject-Oriented Searching, made Yahoo a principal selection; re-ordered items in Guides section; fixed link to MUD resources collection
20 Sep 94 - fixed link to EFF's Guide
08 Sep 94 - added a "Narrative Overview" link; University of Melbourne mirror linked in.
01 Sep 94 - added EARN's Guide to Network Tools as a major item in the Guides section; added (See also) for other sections, added these to no-icons, also.
27 Aug 94 - replaced Lycos, Harvest, and Crawler as highlighted spiders on front page and in word-oriented searching narrative; replaced references to Big Dummy's with EFF's Guide (name change). Put (see also) links on front page.
12 Aug 94 - updated MUD link.
21 Jul 94 - Major re-design of look and feel. Removed all links to category icons---these icons never seemed very descriptive anyway; The whole text (except the icons-only version) uses just three icons:
, and these are all each fewer than 350 bytes. I've also used ALT= to help non-graphical browsers. Each page now has a more common look and feel.
20 Jul 94 - link maintenance; fixed quite a few stale links; also fixed style problems with HTML; simplyified many HTML structures; major refurbishing of look and feel to cut down on icon use. This will also reduce maintenance time. Will still keep icons-only version, as an experiment to see how many people use it--later, I'll do something with a graphical information map there.
10 Jul 94 - changed the culture link to be to icmc/culture.html, the links on the culture page (culture.html) were stale;
04 Jul 94 - link maintenance: GNN's Internet Basics page had a stale link; re-linked all references to internet-cmc and internet-tools to be to the 3-level table of contents of the segmented versions; put in some see also pointers to the internet-cmc file where appropriate
06 May 94 - routine link maintenance: fixed http://www.internic.net; changed Yanoff's list link to the http://www.uwm.edu site; added Crawler to the front page; fixed link for MUD Page; made the compact version as an experiment
02 May 94 - hooked the French version to the front page
28 Apr 94 - I linked the narrative versions of each of the (nar-*.html) sections to the title of that section listed in text.html. Previously, this link had been to the list version. The reasoning is that a user of text.html should be able to quickly go to the narrative version (which adds value over what they currently see on text.html page about that section). The list version is still hooked up to text.html through the icon for that section. This is also consistent with the way the narrative and list versions are laced together.
22 Apr 94 - changed usenet FAQ repository link from ftp.rtfm.edu to Ohio State hypertext list; other routine link maintenance; more modifications of nar-search.html; put (Worm, Nomad) on front text.html page---I might do this with some of the most useful resources that are inside each subcategory; many new web searching tools, I'll need to rework this section.
17 Apr 94 - changed all references to http://www.rpi.edu to be only where necessary (so mirror sites won't refer back to www.rpi.edu documents when local copy available).

02 Apr 94 - set Online World link to gopher site containing full text of chapters; updated CyberMap
