As we enter another season, the WYSIWYG WEB WATCH hopes you will 'fall' for some of our picks for web sites related to moving, your income and what to do with it, Linux, photos from 'up there', and a potential USotM (although a smidgen less useless than usual), among other topics. Even a couple of Mac sites! There's more than first meets the eye this month, with two individual vast collections of recommended web sites. Who's got time to go to work anymore? (1999-10)

This address is a kick off site for more than enough useful and interesting sites to last at least a short lifetime. As a start, select Find Information - Best of the Internet for recommended Web Sites. Also, check out the Online Databases for articles from hundreds of periodicals. (Some of the site's areas require that you input your Macomb County library card number. Library cards are available at any public library in Macomb County for free for residents. Also, at the Troy library. (1999-10)
