BOB'S OLD-TIME RADIO LINKS
----------------------------
Ahhh... Fibber McGee, Amos & Andy and the Shadow. Thanks to many
excellent old-time radio sites, you can re-live the glory days of
radio. Boston Pete's Virtual Radio Broadcast is one of the best, and
you can find dozens of others via Jack's Killer List of Old Time Radio
Pages.

My favorite search engines and people finders? These are my picks for
the cream of the crop.

BOB'S GEEKY WEB DEVELOPER PICKS
---------------------------------
If you're a web developer, or a wannabe cybergeek, you will find these
sites very useful. Netscape's official Javascript Guide is something
I visit often, and Matt's Script Archive is a veritable cornucopia of
website addons to help you enable search, chat, guest books, forms,
counters and more.

SOME POINTS TO PONDER
-----------------------
My mother sent this to me last week, and it reminded me that I have a
lot for which to be truly thankful. Sorry I don't know the author,
but it's worth passing along.
>If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are
>more blessed than the million who will not survive this week.
>If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness
>of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation,
>you are ahead of 500 million people in the world.
>If you can attend a church meeting without fear of harassment,
>arrest, torture, or death, you are more blessed than three billion
>people in the world.
>If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof
>overhead and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of this world.
>If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a
>dish someplace, you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.
>If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly
>thankful, you are blessed because the majority can, but most do not.
>If you can hold someone's hand, hug them or even touch them on the
>shoulder, you are blessed because you can offer healing touch.
>If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in
>that someone was thinking of you, and you are more blessed than over
>two billion people in the world that cannot read at all.
>Have a good day, count your blessings, and pass this along to remind
>everyone else how blessed we all are.
That's all for now, I'll see you next time! --Bob
