Cool Links
Originally Compiled by Eric Uecker
Comprehensively Updated by Jim Macak
Every site seems to have a page of links. After all, linking to information is what the web is all about. This page is not an attempt to provide every Mac-based link known to man. In fact, we try to be rather selective about the links that appear here. So, our “Cool Links” page seeks to serve two purposes:
- To point out some of the best Mac OS information on the web. Most likely, even the experienced surfer hasn’t seen every great site. We hope to shrink your discovery time a little to help you get the most valuable information as easily as possible.
- To provide links as a launch pad to some interesting sites in order to help a web “newbie” learn a bit of what is out there on the web.
Thus, the following sections comprise links to hardware sites that seem to have a good “reputation,” software sites that provide comprehensive listings or vendor sites of “must-have” and/or popular applications and utilities, news sites that are well-maintained and up-to-date, miscellaneous Mac sites that are of high quality and/or utility, and, as a change of pace, some Milwaukee-related sites that “locals” should find interesting.
Links tagged with the 
icon have been added to this page within the past few months. Links with the 
icon denote sites that are especially notable and deserving of your attention.
