For the holiday period, web•Wiz has a variety of sites for you to visit. In particular, try out AceHTML to write your web pages; there are some hints for looking after your email while away: and, then, you can relax with a game.
Although there probably won't be another column until the new millenium, there'll be updates posted - just check the Updates section on this page.
New sites will be continually added to web•Directory so use this service when looking for a particular site > Latest update 20-Dec-2000 <.
