The A List

Every month The Net's team of crack reviewers check out hundreds of sites, wading through the confusion of the Web so you don't have to. The A List is netPOWER's monthly roundup of the best sites from the pages of The Net. Check them out through either the direct links or site mirrors.

These sites were current when originally mirrored. Given the ephemeral nature of the Web, the actual sites probably have more content now! All sites were mirrored with the permission of the owners and copyright is retained by these owners.

If you maintain a Web site for a non-profit museum or gallery, and would like to be mirrored on a future edition of netPOWER!, please contact us at netpower@thenet-usa.com.

What's Mirroring?

netPOWER contains "mirrors" of various museum Web sites. By mirroring, we mean that we've stored locally on this CD-ROM the Web pages you would see if you were cruising the Internet and accessed the particular museum's net address. We've chosen Web sites that are particularly rich in graphics, and also heavily trafficked. This way, you'll be able to easily access these sites, without having to wait as long for downloads and displays as you would if you were traveling over the net.

One thing to remember is that some of the functions of the Web pages we've mirrored on this disc may not work. For instance, image-maps (pictures that, when clicked on, link you to another page) are turned off on the CD-ROM. Also, pages that have forms on them won't work, because the Web site's server needs to process the information you send it. In addition, it is beyond the scope of this CD to mirror links that would take you to sites external to the ones we've mirrored. If a page on the CD-ROM has a link to a page that needs a site's server (like a form), or if the link is to a site that is not on the CD-ROM, the link will have this arrow by it. You can access that link if you have an active connection to the internet.
