Cheaper than the average Nexis/Lexis account, more expensive than the free sites it pedals, Law Research organizes the Web for the litigation-minded: $28 a quarter or $99 dollars a year brings access to a search engine digging and hunting for cases, legislation, ethics, and legal lingo from law-related sites. Sure, the sites Law Research probes are free to visit directly, but those folks who do will miss the joys of this utterly confusing interface. The site bills subscribers through offline invoices, and Law Research will soon have 100,000 links. It isn't that much money, but it's hard to believe the professionals this site claims to cater to don't already have better access to the same information. - Robert Capps
PC-slinging Insight's got systems, peripherals, and software in just about every Web-sales incarnation ever thought up. Auctions, weekly specials, group discounts, and top-ten picks can be snatched up with a credit card via phone, e-mail, or secured CGI form, or with a check via snail mail. All of this somewhat masks the fact that Insight's inventory lacks girth. You'll find goods for sale from a handful of monitor companies, a smidgen of software manufacturers, and a few token system jockeys, but even from this pool, many items aren't in stock. Prices, on the other hand, definitely make the site worth a glance, as even after shipping, Insight generally beats the local computer mart. - Robert Capps
In the spirit of true commercialism, DomainMe! takes charge of the tender space between "www" and ".com." What kind of site would you have without a clever, personalized, license plate-style domain. So snap 'em up kiddies. Forty bucks guarantees a keen name (not including the $100 InterNIC charges), and you can even put in bids for the upcoming slew of new suffixes-.firm, .arts, and so on. Orders are taken in SSL CGI, and the site will let you search names or even think up a few for you on its own. - Robert Capps
Writing a job description doesn't seem like one of life's greater challenges-possibly easier than wrestling with Java applets at slow speeds. But hey, corporations spend gobs of money on HR staff, so they might as well toss a little into Descriptions Now!'s coffers. Pay $7 and retrieve a politically and legally sound description for any job in its massive database. Just select a position; punch in skills, education requirements, and physical abilities necessary; and send off an unsecured credit card number. The site allows for a trial run with a few preselected jobs and offers CGI-based tech support as well as an 800 number. My favorite part is the unlinked "simply click here to receive a complete refund" area. - Robert Capps
