Life doesn't last very long so you have to make the most of it! Besides my big interests in music and science I also do a zillion other things and have accrued quite a list of Internet links over many, many hours of net surfing. So why not take a look at the links I have collected? The links are arranged as a Netscape bookmark file. They should display correctly on Netscape (is there really any other browser?) and Microsoft Explorer. They may not display correctly on other browsers.
You will find links to art, computer stuff (stuff is a great word, isn't it?), education, electronics, entertainment, hobbies, media, misc., music, newspapers, science, stamps/mail/ups/phone/IRS, travel, universities, and weather, to name just a few.
If you save the file, you can then open and edit it as you would any other Netscape bookmark file.
