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.

slow.
