http://www.microsoft.com/mouse/ "The MOUSE"! Essential part of all computer systems, its operation is often overlooked.

http://www.juno.com * Juno-FREE has been removed from the list because of their new policy for FREE Juno users: Juno quietly posted a new agreement that will change the terms for subscribers of its free Internet service. Those customers must allow the downloading of software that would perform computational tasks unrelated to Internet connection. They must also agree to leave their computers on all the time if asked. The software would replace the screensaver, and people would not be able to uninstall or tamper with it. Furthermore, under the terms of the agreement, Juno would have the right to "initiate a telephone connection from your computer to Juno's central computers." *
