of links that have been useful in the past or might be in future.

Check your web pages with one of the following systems:
Searching
Everyone knows Google, of course, but there is more.
- AltaVista
[Seems weak with regard to checking pages in its database for updates/removal.]
- HotBot
[The ranking of search results is very poor.]
- WebCrawler
[Doesn't seem to check pages regularily, but supports redirection.]
- Yahoo (search engine and index

Computers
Vendors (and Products)
The following are some partners and products employed in business
computing, prepress, and university environments I was responsible for
in the 1990s and early 2000s; I've omitted evident entries such as AMD,
Intel, HP, or IBM.
(Tom's Hardware Guide
is also worth a look.)
Security
Let's get rid of hoaxes now!
