Frank's Favorites

Annorak stuff

• Microsoft's Knowledge Base on-line.
  The answer to more technical support and software development problems can be found here more quickly than you may imagine.
• Seagate/Conner technical support
  Seagate (now merged with Conner) had a horribly complex frame-based technical support page. Did they take note of my complaints? Well, it's a lot better now, whatever the reason.
• Maxtor
  More hard disk information.
• Western Digital
  A bit more hard disk information.
• Micropolis
  Since Micropolis Corp sold their hard disk interests on 9th Jan 1996 (since filed for Chapter 11 19th November 1997) I have been unable to find support information for them on the web. If anyone knows differently, please let me know.
• Quantum Support
  Even hard disk information (jump in passed the sign-on graphics).
• Plasmon
  Fancy optical storage and some down-to-earth bits
• Iomega
  Zip drives and lots of large bitmaps for no good reason.

Useful places

• WhoWhere?
  Four11 as was (now part of Yahoo)
  Two good directory services for finding e-mail addresses for people.

Hobbies

• BUGS
  Bath University Guides and Scouts - plenty of useful files, together with some plain fun ones for anyone involved in Scouting.
• British Microlight Aviation Association
  At last the Association for flimsy cloth aircraft with iffy engines and no room for a parachute gets up to date with an on-line presence.
• Pegasus Aviation (a.k.a. Cyclone)
  Makers of my favorite Microlight (the AX3), until I can afford a Renegade. With pictures.
• Veggies Unite
  Now at a new location, but still full of good recipes, some of which I'd even consider eating.
• NAUI
  The British Sub Aqua Club (of which I am not a fan anyway) hasn't got a web site, as far as I can tell. This Australian mob are considerably more together anyway.
• Royal Yachting Association
  I wish there was a better sailing site in the UK, but this will have to do until then.
• Guinea Pigs!
  'Nuff said.

Just for fun

• Yak's Zoo
  A home page belonging to someone I've never even heard of, let alone met. Honest! There are plenty of sheep pictures here too.
• Guinea Pig TV
  Almost live Guinea Pigs. They're not as nice as mine but they made it on-line first.
