KEWL SURFING SITES





HERE IS A LIST OF MY FAVOURITE WEB SITES...



Commercial Software Companies

Berkeley Systems
This is the home of Berkeley Systems, makers of AfterDark and other ..... well, screen savers!

Bungie Software
Apart from being able to download Marathon films, tools, and the Marathon 2 demo, this site has excellent examples of animation in HTML.

Claris
Visit the creators of ClarisWorks, my favourite integrated package.

Fractal Design
No, we're not talking maths here! Fractal Design are the creators of Painter, Trees and Leaves, Poser, and Dabbler.

MacroMedia
MacroMedia are the makers of Director, SoundEdit, MacroModel and Action. They're giving away free CDs from their site, so it's worth checking out just for that!

Maxis
Visit the makers of the Sim family of games.


Mac Manufacturers

Apple Computer
Apple Computer has one of the biggest and best Web sites I have seen. If you're running low on ammunition to use against PC users, Apple's site has a section entitled Why Macs are better than PCs running Windows 95.

Power Computing.
Power Computing is the first of the Macintosh clone makers, and definetely the best. Their WWW site even includes a section which lets you Build Your Own Box.



Commercial Sites On The Web

Federal Express
Federal Express is probably one of the biggest couriers in the US. If you send a package through FedEx, you can use their Web site to see if your package has arrived yet.

Netcafe
Feel like a coffee? Want to surf the web at the same time? Then Netcafe is for you! There's also a Netcafe in the UK and they're sprouting up all over the world!


Media

The Age
A Victorian (as in Australia) newspaper.

Australian Broadcasting Corporation
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation, or ABC. This site has links to many of its radio and TV programmes.

BBC
The BBC equivalent of the ABC site!

Cable News Network
Cable News Network (CNN)'s WWW site.

MacFormat
See what's coming in the next issue of MacFormat, and what you missed in previous issues. It even allows you to subscribe through a secure site!


Just Plain Bizarre

The Paul Keating Insults Page
Our scumbag Prime Minister, Paul Keating, never runs out of insults. Here's a list of some of them - most are bloody humorous.

Pi to 10,000 decimal places.
Just what I've always wanted to know! Unless you want to know the exact area of your dinner plate, this is quite useless.


Other Cool Sites On The Web

Clarus the DogCow's Home Page.
We've all seen this little critter in the "Page Setup" dialog box. Is it a dog? Is it a cow? Find out by visiting this page.

The Amazng Fishcam!
No, this ain't a screen saver; it's a camera pointed at a fishtank, and you can download the pictures through this web page. This site also includes the Continually Refreshing Fishcam. Just as its name suggests - it constantly refreshes the Fishcam picture.

The History of Computing

Intellicast's Weather Page
This is one of the best weather sites I have seen. It allows you to view satellite images, as well as check out the weather in your local area.

Kobe City
On January 17th 1995, Kobe, in Japan, experienced a big earthquake. Their local universitiy's file server miraculously remained in one piece. This WWW site contains pictures of the quake - on the day and months after.

List of Australian Web Sites

Timo's Macintosh Page
With all the hype on Windows 95, it's great to have a militant Mac user's site.

A list of everything to do with the Australian state of Victoria.

The Virtual Software Library
This is a totally cool site. It allows you to search by any criterion you can think of, and then download shareware that matches your search.
