Internet Favorites The list below is not just a cut and paste job of my bookmarks. Rather it is a list of sites that I routinely visit and that you may not know about. My bookmarks, for example, include Google News and Download.com. Most people know about Google News and most people who are interested in freeware know about Download.com. Thus, they are not listed here. |

Computers |

Freeware |
|
| Pricelessware | A list of the best available freeware in the opinion of the newsgroup (Usenet) alt.comp.freeware. |
| Freeware World Team | I don't know of any freeware site that has more stuff than this one. It's too big to brouse but it has a pretty good search engine. If you don't find it here, it doesn't exist. (Beware: Some of the programs are great and some are dogs.) |
Reference |
|
| Urban Legends | A site debunking falsehoods spread largely by email. One example of such falsehoods is that rat urine possibily on the top of soda cans is toxic to humans. |
| RefDesk | Every kind of reference tool you can possibly imagine and then some. Very helpful for students, researchers and writers. |
| Word Origins | A list of about 400 words and phrase origins. The words and phrases are selected because their origins are inherently interesting or because some bit of folklore, sometimes true and sometimes false, is associated with the origin. |
| World Atlas | Do you want to know which continent is the largest or what countries make up North America? Look no further. This world atlas will tell you that and a lot more. |
