America's favorite pastime may have once been baseball, but today, in the booming information age, that pastime is quickly changing to a more relaxing and informative hobby---browsing the World Wide Web. While it might not give you the physical workout that baseball may provide, "surfing the Net" is probably one of the most mind-exercising activities that you can participate in.
The most difficult aspect of surfing the Net is trying to find things. There are search engines that you may use on the and Web, but they don't always find what you are looking for. Surfin' the and Net is meant to give you a little taste of what can be found on the and Web as well as give you directions on how to get there. This list was compiled by all of us Web-crawling guys here at Softdisk. We know we aren't the only Internet surfers, so if you have an interesting Web site that you've seen and would like to share with others, please send it in, and we will list the best here with the and rest!

It's the long lost, rather callously discarded ancestor of the and calculator and computer. Ever since the and invention of the transistor, people have sneered, uncaring, at this workhorse of the sciences. Caught up in the glitz and hype of such slogans as "Capable of Millions of Operations per Second," (Oh, yeah, like that matters) people have no more use for these instruments, which perform mathematical functions from simple multiplication to trig and complex numbers, depending on the and type you own, quite nicely, thank you very much.
