The search index is free and if you don't visit this page - then you can't say you've been surfing on the web. A must see for all WWW travellers. By the way - an aside note: YAHOO is an acronym that stands for... get this... Yet Another Hierarchically Officious Oracle. No... I'm not fooling. Yahoo has become one of the "standards" for every web surfer to visit. This site will quickly become one of your favorites. Whatever you are looking for (even if it's just random surfing) Yahoo is sure to have it. **** Excellent **** site that keeps getting better and better. Surf here!

Tons of links to fun and interesting stuff all over the web. For kids of all ages (especially the younger ones).This will keep 'em occupied and engaged for hours on end. Maybe you too. This site has been thoroughly checked by Bob Allison (Uncle Bob) and contains nothing offensive or obscene. Just good clean fun! Besides games links there is lots of neat links educational pages and links to virtual travel in many different countries. This is one of the best all around starting points on the Web for kids (and adults too). This site even had me busy for hours and I really recommend this site highly and without any reservations. Now just try and get your kids to put down the mouse and relinquish the browser!
Yes there are better sites but this one is hard to beat for a good general starting point for ALL types of users. Check it out - you'll like it!
From Netscape comes a great place to start your Internet Explorations!
Many informative links, Web search engine links and places to go! One of the best "personal" web pages that offer a fine starting point and many links to search engines to find what you want. A good general surf page.
These are the "premier" lists for internet travel. Always has the new mixed in with the old. Great if you need Mac places to visit or just want to find out what's new on the net. Get this once a month. The TV guide of the Internet!

A new web service that is planning to have 1000 new reviews compiled each month of various web pages found across the globe. Each site is rated and this could prove to become a very potent and powerful resource for web surfers. Give it a try!
List of sites that could be considered not only fun but useful as well. Almost all of the sites here are very well laid out and worth visiting.

You'll get constant updates and new URLs that the keepers of the listserv deem as worthy of top-ten status. Always something new and interesting.
This is one of the premier and best surfing start points for finding out and understanding all about how the Internet works. Easy and breezy, this page is clear and concise and contains many links to other great help sites. In fact, this page is so good I've listed it as a start point in the other section of this BIGSurf Net-List. Every 'netter should get here at least once to check up on how the 'net works. It's a good idea to have an understanding of the waters you'll be surfing in - get here soon!
"Understanding the Internet" is a new WWW site which provides over 200 references for beginners, including links to the latest Internet software, background guides, and several lists of online resources.
It was developed as an online companion to a television documentary about the history and growth of the Internet, produced by Andrew Cochran Associates in association with The Discovery Channel (Canada). The documentary features interviews with pioneers of the Internet and WWW sites of significance. A full list of the people interviewed, together with corresponding links, is included in the site. Copies of the video are available for sale.
Features links to (you guessed it) strange things and places on the web. Actually this site is very entertaining and if it continues will be put on BIGSURF's "General Starting Points" section. This is a great place to start out your web surfing adventures when you're in a fun mood and want to get a little silly. Even the kids will love this one. Try it! There are so many unusual and neat links that I decided not to list all the links available through this page as separate sites. The Weird Zone and Mr. Potato Head and many more sites are to be found as links here. As you can see, I really enjoy this site and it is constantly growing. Surf here! >>> OK - so I *did* put it in the general starting points section. Yes! <<<
Unusual sites from around the world! Who else has links to the Ollie North page. An unbelievable collection. You could surf through this for months.
A great place to start your learning and knowledge on a variety of topics.
Afantastic alternative to "boom-box". Includes a WAIS-indexed database and provides a list of new gophers updated daily.
The "mother" of all gophers still maintains an impressive site. This has become a true Internet standard in the world of gophering. A must see.
This is a great place to start your gopher explorations!
As it says... neat places to gopher - constantly updated and changing.
Too much to list here. This is *the best* single gopher URL I could ever give to you. Mountains of info available here with pointers and gopher links to elsewhere. Nearly every topic is covered - even WWW access via Telnet is possible through here. Also includes search engines to find your way around gopher-space. It just doesn't get any better than this. For "burrowers" everywhere - give this Gopher Jewels URL a workout - you'll come back here time after time after time....
A selection of great burrowing sites for your gopher client. Point your gopher here for great places to go. Updated frequently. A must see.
There are two wonderful search tools available for gopher users.
1. Veronica - Very-Easy-Rodent-Oriented-Netwide-Index-to-Computer-Activities
Almost every major gopher site can lead you to Veronica searching services and Veronica can search all of "gopherspace" (that's means it can do keyword searches both in the gopher server area you are in and throughout all the gopher servers available in the world). Veronica searches can be as simple as entering a single keyword or can include moe complex searches that can include AND/OR between keywords and can also include asterick (*) wild card searches too.
2. Jughead
Where you find Veronica - then you'll almost always find Jughead. Jughead does not do a search of all gopherspace - rather it only searches within the particular gopher site you are at when you initiate the search. This is a much faster service as your search is limited to the site. Of course this site-based searcher can help to keep your gopher searches quick and manageable.
3. Archie (for searching for files on FTP sites)
NO !!! Although it's name is reflective of the above comic book characters and keeps to the naming "thread" this searcher is for searching FTP sites and is not used to search Gopher sites.
Please see section 4 "Internet and Computer oriented Information" for more information on how to use the Archie search client.
Holy cow! This is a *monster* site (and that's good!). This gopher site is like hitting paydirt - in fact - this site is near legendary on the 'net. This gopher site houses a huge library of things to read all laid out in an organized fashion. There are things here you just won't get anywhere else and if you really want to keep up on the 'net scene and beyond you really *must* come to this site and read up. No excuses. Period.
Here is a wonderful "free" free-net site for all those who have access to telnet or have the ability to create a telnet session. This site provides a wide and varied array of information that is accessible (once you log in via telnet) through a numbered menu list. Rather than attempt to explain all the topics available I thought I would show you what the Menu looks like when you log in. Take a look! This site was listed here because not everyone has WWW access. However, most folks on the Internet on limited dialup unix connections or limited email/newsread connections still have access to telnet sessions. I hope this Freenet site helps some people.
Various helpful links to freenet providers. Has links to regional public access nets with Web sites. A good resource for free-net searchers.
Contains top ten lists of URLs from many different topics and subject areas.
