I would second Gary's advice somewhat buried at the end of his comment. Do try out the search engine Vivisimo! It "clusters" related results. I found it fascinating and do intend to introduce it to our classes doing research. http://www.vivisimo.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Adam Janowski Library Media Specialist Naples High School 1100 Golden Eagle Circle Naples, FL 34102 E-mail: NHSWebmaster@collier.k12.fl.us Phone: 239-430-6644 Ext. 390 Fax: 239-430-6673 Library web site: http://collier.k12.fl.us/nhs/lmc/ School web site: http://collier.k12.fl.us/nhs/ >>> gary price <gary@RESOURCESHELF.COM> 3/29/2004 1:49:47 PM >>> Silverstein has made this comment for a long time.

Silverstein also maintains a frequently asked questions page with info on the Muppets.
