Free PDF Coversion site - www.gohtm.com
I am sure most of you have Adobe composer software on your computer, or
already know of a free .doc to .pdf conversion site; but for those who
don't the page below will convert basic MS word documents into a pdf
file. Of course they are all standard settings rather than nice
customized ones, but it could be useful in some limited functions where
you need a pdf. You just submit the document file and they e-mail it
back as an attachment. Did a pretty good job on the sample files I sent
even with artwork. About as good as the official Adobe subscription site
which wants $9 a month to do the same trick.
It can also convert a bunch of other file formats. The price is right...

Open Directory Project
The Open Directory Project (called "Newhoo" before it was purchased by
Netscape Communications) is the fastest growing Web directory
assembled by human surfers. We can only guess that the address stands
for "Directory Mozilla"--you'll find Mozilla, Netscape's unofficial
mascot, at the bottom of each page. While most Web directories, like
Yahoo, are created by teams of professional Web surfers, The Open
Directory Project is compiled by over 22,000 volunteers. And for the
most part, its 1.5 million Web site descriptions are surprisingly
accurate and up to date. Not bad for a bunch of amateurs! Of course,
DMOZ is always looking for volunteers. Who knows, you might just help
it reach the 2 million mark!

Spam: PDF of What the FTC Says
Do you receive lots of junk email messages from people you don't know?
It's no surprise if you do. As more people use email, marketers are increasingly
using email messages to pitch their products and services. Some consumers find
unsolicited commercial email - also known as "spam" - annoying and time consuming;
others have lost money to bogus offers that arrived in their email in-box.
This site gives you a way you can take action against spammers.
