Sites are rated from one to four (four being best).They are listed alphabetically (four star sites are listed first). Sites are rated by amount of original content and added value. For instance, a site that had a simple list of links to other sites gets one star. A site that has even one original tip or other content gets two (or if they have an outstanding page of links). For three stars, the site must have multiple pages of original content. Four star sites are the cream of the crop and have excellent links pages, multiple pages of original content, and top-notch Web site design and added-value features as well (see Carl and Gary's Usenet search engine for an example of an added-value feature).
Because of the nature of the Internet, links may change, or sites may go away completely. We make all attempts at being 100 percent accurate. Please email Robyn Glennon at 74777.3365@compuserve.com if you find sites that are incorrect, changed, or if you find new sites that aren't on this list.
