data and aircraft model history section is very readable even if you haven't a clue how a 199' 11" wingspan, and
economy high density configuration, actually impacts on your experience when you fly. The site is loaded with
images which you can send as e-cards or purchase as large sized prints. And lest we forget, news. Our very reason
for existing is also catered for, with the editorial highlighting the latest airline headlines all collected here. (Site

Well, a whole site has been dedicated to this pint-sized Corsican and it's well worth a browse of Napoleon Guide.
Although, unlike the man it portrays, the site's not handSome or pioneering, however, the content though really '
makes up for the lack of design aesthetic. Each aspect of Napoleon's life is explored, from images of the Emperor
as a young man, at his coronation, and in the battlefield. If the battlefield is an interest area, then maps highlight
where combat took place and give an indication of Napoleon's relentless ambition. Love letters aren't what Napoleon is most famous for, but they
provide a fascinating insight into how he felt towards Josephine while away on various campaigns. There are also a few to his other lovers which
provide an interesting contrast. The site places Napoleon's life in context with the era, and I couldn't resist highlighting this particularly gruesome
contraption .7 the guillotine - used to execute around forty thousand people during the French Revolution.

For all you fans of cheese - and no I don't mean Chris Long's reports - the cheese fanatics online home is at
Cheesenet. The World Cheese Index is indeed true to its word, you can search for any type of cheesy matter by
country, name, animal that produces it, or curd process incidentally. The results show a variety from Romania,
Spain, Denmark and many more. For some, cheese has become such a passion, they've felt inspired to write and
some are actually quite good. James Davies 'Ode to Cheesedom' had me smiling! There's a lot more, from
cheesmaking techniques to a glossary on all the unique terms.

In the techno world. The Ultimate Computer Acronyms Finder is a database of computer-related acronyms. You can
search for acronyms in a variety of ways. It was interesting just to browse through the alphabetic categories there -
..u:_ :ars are so many the mind boggles. The site helps when it can, with brief descriptions of what the term you're looking
-wejeceemetsom, up actually refers to. So Large Scale of Integration, or LSI, means so much more when you know it relates to the
- 7 quantity of transistors that are placed on one chip (Ye! I know ECE guys need no formal introduction for this, but
what about others!). If you'd like the database available as a permanent resource you can download a PDF version
of the archive (0 obviously, in one floppy!). One other thing -
if you know of an acronym that isn't there, why not submit it to be added to the database.

If you've had your fill of television news, and want to get stuck into the papers, take a look at the impressive Paperboy.
It's an Australian based portal that links you to over 5000 newspapers from around the world. The site design is bold
and relatively easy to use. Apart from the standard way to access content - by country - a nifty tool enables you to
submit a headline you're interested in reading. The meta-search engine trawls
through seven major online news site databases and delivers the papers writing
about your topic of interest. There are an impressive array of papers from around the
world - from Bhutan to Bolivia and over to Botswana - a truly global viewpoint
accessed so easily. But if it's only regional news (I mean something like
Bangladesh's 'The Independent' or LA's 'The Daily Picayune'!) that excites you
more, then your pick should be http://www.onlinenewspapers.com where you will
find good coverage of regional papers.
