First things first ... The WWW is vast! It is mind-numbingly large, in the same way that
considering a single atom and its place in the rest of the universe is mind-numbing! You simply
cannot comprehend the sheer vastness of it all. Estimates as to the number of computers on the
Internet vary wi(l)dely, but you need only know that there are lots of them. On each server, there
could be any number of www-pages! The result of all this is that the number of www-pages
available to you is about infinity-3, now there's a big number! Therefore, it seems appropriate
that, in order to make this page useful to you, I include a search-engine. I have chosen
Hot Bot as it is probably the most powerful of its type on
the web!

Moving onwards, I would have included links to every available Amiga-resource on these pages, so as
to make them accessible to all. I would have, but there's no need - 'cause someone else has already
done it! So put your hands together folks and let's have a round of applause for the maintainers of
the most comprehensive Amiga-dedicated site on Earth ... The Amiga Web Directory!

Supposing you need to send an important e-mail, to a friend or, perhaps more urgently,
to a colleague or business associate... You write the mail, then shiver with horror as you realise that
you've forgotten their e-mail address!
What you need now is the Internet's equivalent of a telephone directory - Enter Bigfoot,
a search-engine for e-mail addresses.
Don't forget to enter your own details here, then you will be added to the Big Book and your friends (if you have any) will be able
to locate you more easily!

The URL-Minder keeps track of Web pages (and other Internet resources) and sends you e-mail
when the pages you register change. The URL-Minder is your own personal Web robot: it keeps tabs on pages/sites
that are important to you, so you don't have to keep checking them - you can spend your time doing other things!

The Internet Movie Data-Base: A huge, searchable database of just about every film ever made! Seen a good film
lately? Then drop in and cast your vote, that way - when I want to watch that film, I can
see how highly (or not, as the case may be) it was rated by others. |
