We use Apple Computers for simple fact that they are the best integrated machines in the marketplace. For graphics work they can't be beat. The plug and play capabilities are outstanding. The new line of Power Macs show lots of promise. We have a PowerPC 7500, a PowerPC 7600, a PowerBook 520c, upgraded with a PPC and in the museum, a SE (with 1/20!).

It's been said that this is one of the best ways to get exercise, but riding a bike can also be an excellent way to get around at a more leisurely pace, while enjoying the outdoors. The Mountain Biking resources on the Web are outstanding!

Now be honest. Even when we are at work using the Internet there is the constant allure of the fun just around the corner from that boring thesis on IEEE Standards. Admit it, we love to play and there is plenty of that going on here. Check out some of the fun sites we have found.

John is a professional Graphic Artist, with a BA from San Jose State. Bill simply sponges off of the talent that oozes from John. The most remarkable thing about the growth of the Web has been the constant raising of standards of Art to be found online. The talent pool is immense and you need only browse for a short time before realizing that while there is some great stuff out there, it can only continue to get better and better.

We are politically involved. You should be too. The threat to our liberties as Americans comes from many varied philosophies. The one constant idea is best described by a non-American during the Age of Enlightenment, "I may not agree with what you have to say, but I will fight to the death your right to say it!" - Voltaire (an enemy to tyrants everywhere). Be sure to check out our Campaign '98 page.

The stuff here is obviously not for everyone (ed - See Volaire). We have to admit our reluctance to include these references on the site, but to do so would have been a disservice to ourselves and to the thousands of people who may learn something by visiting one of these places on the Web.

One of the most obvious uses for the Internet has been research. This was the idea from its infancy, hence the powerful presence of America's great institutes of higher learning. Access can no longer be denied to those with a desire to seek out and discover. Remember! Knowledge is power.

Always fascinated by lizards, we have taken up boarding them. I must say that there was some hesitation at first. The resources on the Web have proven to be invaluable in deciding what species to buy and where to turn for care and feeding tips. The Newsgroup for herpetology is rec.pets.herp and shouldn't be missed by the amateur or professional herpotologist alike.

This is one of the best places in the world to live, without question (certainly not from the thousands of people who move here annually). The diverse culture, outstanding weather, proximity to the natural wonders within California, and of course a world famous center of technonolgy, all make this area magical.

The links here are as varied and as interesting as the Web itself. Obviously these sites are places that have a special interest to us. We hope you find something here that enhances your experience with the Internet. Hey...start your homepage today!
