Here are a few of my favorite websites in no particular order. Some I have found really useful, others just fun or interesting.


Free web hosting, e-mail and more. It the service I use for this site , and others
Ben Freedman, the world's number one jingle guru, has added to his business portfolio with a new jingle-busines, offering classic and newly produced Gwinsound  cuts including the package I used when managing WILZ radio, St. Petersburg Beach, FL. in the early 70s. If you love the "songs between the songs" (jingles) like I do you'll want to vist Ben's websites. You can always tell when someone loves what he does...Ben is that kinda guy!
If you need Outlook and Exchange features and functionality but don't want the hassle of maintaining a server, licenses etc. consider Mi8 They deliver this enterprise-class system via the Software-as-a-Service model, an innovative approach that provides Fortune-500 class IT infrastructure and services to any size company. The Software-as-a-Service model fundamentally changes Outlook & Exchange from software and hardware that an organization must purchase and maintain into a pay-as-you-go service delivered over the Internet. Give me a call if you want a reference from a very satisfied customer.
PayPal is a free service.  It's the world's first email payments network. PayPal allows you to send money instantly and securely to anyone with an email address. You can also send money requests to a friend or group of friends, who can then pay you quickly and easily online.
WorldTime... Absolutely the best freeware clock out there (in my humble, but accurate opinion). It will also set your PC clock to any number of atomic clocks world wide.
20MB of fast web storage, unlimited email accounts (user@yourdomain.com format) with POP and web access, email forwarding, and FTP access. Most importantly, you get BANNER-FREE, professional web hosting at $0 cost! It's what I use.
eFax.com Home The fastest and easiest way to receive faxes and voicemail — whether you're on the road, at the office, or working from home. eFax Free allows you to receive messages by email, or receive wireless notification, for FREE. Several for-a-fee plans are available that allow you to send faxes as well.
Snappy Fax Software graphic With the consolidation of web-based fax services has come the virtual elimination of free outbound faxing. After an agonizing search I found this great $19 shareware program. It is an elegantly simple and effective way to add fax and copy machine functionality to your Windows desktop. Don't bother with Microsoft Fax. I don't think even Redmond knows how to install it an make it work!
TPC Logo The Phone Company's Remote Printing Service is a collection of FAX servers you may use to send a fax to many locations around the world free. It's not slick, elegant or, er, Snappy but if you need to send faxes overseas it may be worth the effort.
Remote Central This site is designed to be the ultimate online source for information on mid- to high-end home theater remote controls. Remote Central also features DVD movie reviews, tips and other general information on working with remote controls plus a comprehensive archive of downloadable files.
Welcome to iPrint.com From the comfort of your PC, you can create a full range of professional stationery and specialty items... all at the touch of a few buttons. I use them for personalized Post It© notes.
My favorite way to check internet speeds & feeds. Free and web-based.
http://grc.com/ Steve Gibson's site. Home to Shields Up and Spinrite. Two must-haves in my world. Check your security with the free Shields Up. You might have a surprise in store.
The WeatherBug, a terrific free weather service. Your own PC-based weather station.
Google The only search tool I use. Its unique method of indexing the web returns what you want without the trash. Web-based, zero footprint and it's free. Click on the logo at left, create a short cut on your desktop and drag the resulting icon down to the bottom of your screen and you'll have instant access for quick searches. 
 Do web animations grab attention? You be the judge.
If you use Microsoft's FrontPage as a web development tool you will want to get to know this website. Templates, tools, development assistance, hosting.... much more too. And a real person answers questions though the forums probably have every answer known to... er... person. (Whew!)
