Why Pearls of Url's

This site came in to being for a couple of reasons. First, I love exploring the internet and am always looking for good sites. Second, I wanted to see if I could create a Web site using only the internet for information and training. Using only a simple text editor to create these pages is a good learning experience.

A Good Start

If you like Bulletin Boards, my favorite is NeatNetTricks.The Newsletter also has turned up quite a few gems. Click on the banner below.

Geek Speak?

New to computers? Look for definitions on computer terms. Type your geeky word in the box below.

What's Useful

The site I seem to return to over and over is CNET. They seem to always have what I want. Downloads, News, Prices, Reviews and good Newsletters. Click on the banner below to go to CNET Help.com.

You like Fluff?

If you enjoy cool pictures rotating as wall paper or screen savers try visiting Webshots' and grab their free program. If that is not your cup-o-tea, how 'bout filling some of that wasted space on your hard drive with silly sounds from Sounds America? I like downloading stationary for IE from Thunder Cloud so I can irritate those who can't view/receive it! These things are all a MUST for serious computer users.

Must See Site

This is one of those sites that at first glance can be very frustrating. There is no clear navigation and no sure way to tell where you have been and where you can go next. Snarg is something you must experience for yourself.

Cartoons

Flash cartoons are great for a break from the usual. Spumco has many of these in the style of the once ever popular Ren and Stimpy.

Stay in Touch

A great place to stay in touch with your family is at My Family.com. I've been using this site for over 10 months and it never gets old. You can share anything you want there. With 25 MB storage, you'll be lucky if you ever need to delete old files.
