I AM still not sure about e-books, I like the feel of paper. But I suppose that anything that gets people reading these days can't be a bad thing. This site, hosted by the University of Pennsylvania, is a gigantic project which houses thousands of books in electronic form so that you can download them and read them, at your leisure, on your computer screen or one of those e-book readers they are selling now. Only books out of copyright, of course, which means that most of the classics, Dickens, Jane Austen, Daniel Defoe -- even Charles Darwin -- are on there.

WITH an entry in the Guinness Book Of Records for having the largest database of film titles -- from 1895 to the present day -- this is a wonderland for film buffs. It would be really, as it is supplied with its information by the famous Halliwell's Film Guide. I tried a search for "The Gods Must Be Crazy" -- an obscure South African film from 1981 I happen to like -- as a test and sure enough the site found it.

HOW on earth do I describe this site? It's a bit like the dancing baby, an internet rave that is only just getting known about by us mere mortals. It's stickmen fighting. Kung Fu and all that sort of thing. I know it sounds daft and it looks just as silly when you first get in there, but just have a couple of tries and it's more addictive than Solitaire.

A husband and wife homage to their hobby -- the collecting of Antique Sewing Machines. I never fail to be amazed at the wealth of knowledge some people develop around their chosen hobby. And with the emergence of the Web a lot of this information ends up on websites like this. Even if you have no interest at all in sewing machines, just log on and have a browse around. I guarantee you will be impressed.

by the amount of work that has been put in on it.
