Great Web Sites

[George Jung]

Thought it might be fun to share our favorite sebsites. On a couple of other threads, some have been mentioned, including one for shared music - looks very good, btw.

A new one I recently found is www.dealmac.com (http://www.dealmac.com)
It's motto is 'How to go broke saving money... :D ... I like 'em already! I was made aware of this site while looking for a digital camera for one of my children; reading dpreview.com, (I really like this site), and on the Canon forum, one of the posters mentioned a great deal at Dell, made possible by 'stacked' coupons, on a limited time deal.... posted on dealmac. I also discovered a good buy on an MP3 player...

They list any number of items, as well as some 'freebies'. One just listed looks interesting...17,000 free ebooks at Project Gutenberg.

So... what's your favorite sites?

collegehumor.com is a hoot. Updated list of links every day full of crazy internet stuff sent in by college kids all over the country. Don't forget "rants and raves" and the "tools for sale" sections in your local craigslist.org, either!
