Computer Giants
(This online store specializes in storage solutions and offers great prices.  As an example, a 2 GB compact flash memory card cost $285 in August 2004 including Fed-Ex overnight versus $230 for just 1 GB at a local big box store.  As an observation, in July 2007 (three years later) that same 2GB card is now priced at $38.89 -- WOW!)

(This site is extremely comprehensive in its coverage of all aspects of digital projectors.  Cornerstone uses this site to source projectors and to make recommendations to clients.)

ZDNet.com
(One of the most comprehensive and helpful computer and digital camera sites going.  This will take a while to plumb and will be the one to bookmark if you bookmark no others.

Speakeasy.net Speed Test
(This web site allows you to check download and upload speeds throughout a variety of North American locations.  It also displays your IP Address should you ever need to reference it for configuration purposes.)

Testmy.net
(This simple web-based utility will allow you to test the download and upload speed of your Internet connection.  This tool is a real help before you embark on any download of size.  Remember also that your speed will vary widely throughout the day. Once on the page, select SmarTest™ to have the service select the right test for you.)

FlashGet
(FlashGet is a freebie download utility whose default setting downloads as many as 10 files simultaneously and resumes the download if it's disrupted midstream by, say, a browser or PC crash. This kind of tool is a must if you are downloading a very large file (say a printer driver) and you don't want it corrupted or broken.)

Dafont
(This website offers hundreds of free fonts for downloading.  What is most helpful is the ability to type in a word and see what the word looks like in the font before going to the trouble of downloading, installing and then trying out the font.)
