After reading this
article, you will think I work as a Marketing Manger for Google. It’s not that
at all, it’s just that I love this all-encompassing website where you can find
a street address, get a stock quote, get a dictionary definition, find an image,
read Google in over125 languages (including Elmer Fudd, Hacker, Pig Latin,
Bulgarian, Borkborkbork, and even English!), find today’s news as it’s
happening, find a map and lots more!
Enjoy,
Clyde

Website Spotlight
Alpenschatz.com
http://www.alpenschatz.com/
http://www.swisscollars.com/
This is definitely
one of the more ornate, elaborate, and just plain FUN sites we’ve designed. You
get to learn about Switzerland and buy cool stuff for your dog (or very large
cat). It has a full shopping cart where you can use the site to purchase many
items using your credit card or an electronic check.
A bit about the
company:
One of our
greatest finds are Swiss handcrafted leather and brass and leather and alpine
silver DOG COLLARS
worn by the mountain breeds in this region. Additionally, get matching leather
2-in-1 and 3-in-1 EUROPEAN LEASHES, as well as ORNATE ALPINE BELTS
to complement your family's personal wardrobe. We also carry traditional alpine
decorated DOG HARNASSES, perfect for parade, show, or
your next draft competition! And no Alpine Treasure would be complete without
lavish TRADITIONAL
COWBELLS, which make great decorations for your home, your dog's
cart, or as prizes for dog shows and competitions.

Tech Stuff
Sony CLIÉ Handheld

This is definitely
the coolest Palm OS handheld to date. It does almost everything (no wireless)
you need in a little unit! Simply incredible!
MARGI - PowerPoint
Presentations on your Handheld Computer
http://www.margi.com/
Do you give lots
of presentations and hate lugging around a laptop for a 10-12 screen powerpoint
presentation? Why not just plug one of these units into your Handspring Visor
or Ipaq and give your slide presentation from your handheld computer? Sound
impossible? Nope – it’s as easy as Margi. I’ve seen presentations done with
this unit and it’s credible!
