Some of the new stuff in WWW Sources

[RonGraham1]

WWW Sources is found at http://members.aol.com/RonGraham1/www.html.
I include links to sites mentioned in these newsgroups, or received via
e-mail, or found in my favorite trade magazines.

If you want your site included in this growing tool, all ya gots ta do
is ask. May take a while -- I update the site based on my own
availability, and unless I get some sponsorships (HINT), I'm not
always available.

All the sci.engr.* FAQs are linked to WWW Sources, so new features
of some of those are included in this list as well.

sci.engr WELCOME MESSAGE

The new Expert Directory will live there until it outgrows the
Welcome Message page. (There HAVE to be more than THREE
"experts" in the sci.engr.* groups. ;-))

I also toot my own horn, with testimonials to the utility of the
sci.engr.* FAQs. ;-) I have tried on occasion to mention the
existence of these pages to the trade publications with which I
am familiar, and most of them ignore me. (Their loss.) Design
News even insists "it's an AOL site," meaning no-one else outside
of AOL can read it. I would have thought as reputable a trade
publication as Design News would have a Web beat writer that
knows how to use a browser. ;-)

Chief O'Brien: "I'm an engineer. It's what I do."
