General Reference:

• Indiana University IT Knowledgebase Why? Because it contains an amazing scope of answers to all sorts of questions. You just have to skip over the ones that are specific to IU's computing environment.

Software

• Palm Software
• Opera
  The world's fastest web browser - my personal favourite
• Netscape
  I still use Netscape 4.61 (yes, in 2003!) for testing - nothing else finds your table code errors faster! Okay, Homesite's tag inspector is pretty good, too. :-}
• Catalogue of Free Compilers and Interpreters
• Sausage Software
• Novell
• RedHat
  A fine place to get out-of-the-box supported Linux software
• Macromedia
  The makers of Flash, and the new owners of HomeSite - authoring/coding tool for HTML/ASP/Java/JSP/XML/Coldfusion - my personal favourite software for those purposes.
• Wall Data
• Pine

My favourite email reader - yes, I use it via telnet, that way I can delete all the garbage before I download to my PC - and I never infect anyone else's machine by downloading it. ::happy sigh:: Now, if someone would stop turning off the telnet ports in classrooms and offices - what a stupid idea that was! I do much less damage to someone else's machine reading my email via telnet than I would with a POP client! ::shaking head::
