The
Legendary ' Useful
Page'
I
call this the useful page because it contains links to sites and
articles that I find useful and I thought you might as well.
If
there is a site or article that you think may be of interest or
be of use to other people, let me know
and I might add it to the Useful Page.

Browser
Toolbars
I use two very useful browser toolbars. What's a browser toolbar?
It's a piece of software that is written to add extra functions
or shortcuts to your web browser. Most if not all browser toolbars
are made for Internet Explorer.
Recall
Toolbar -- Groowe
Toolbar
The
Recall toolbar keeps an index of the content of every web page
you look at. Then later on if you can't remember where you read
about something, you simply start Recall toolbar, type in what
you were reading about and it lists all the web pages the topic
was listed on.
The
Groowe toolbar is great. It allows you to search on all the big
search engines. You just select the one you want from a drop down
list and click the search button.
