Places to visit
There's so much good information available on the Internet
and we all have our favourite sites to visit. Here's a
collection of web sites (in no particular order) which we enjoy
visiting. Try them, you might like them as well:
|
Online Shopping
|
Amazon
Amazon got it right the moment they set-up
on the Web. They provide an entirely
pleasurable shopping experience. They began
with books, added CDs and DVDs and now sell too
many categories of product to mention.
Over the years of buying from Amazon, we
have never had a problem, despite the fact that
everything we've bought has had to be shipped
overseas.
Even if you're not looking to buy anything,
this is a great place to "window shop"! Try it
right here:
or you can visit the site
 here.

calls "the best videos on the net". It
certainly has a collection of web-based videos

Make sure you have broadband before watching
videos. If you are using a modem and phone
line, it's too expensive and too slow.
