This Week (30-Nov-2000)

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; get some hints for looking after your email while away; and, then, relax with a game!

Although there probably won't be another column until the new millenium, there'll be updates posted in 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 <.
