Hi everybody......

Hope this Christmas as a good one for you and your family. It certainly was for us. I just thought I'd let go with a last one for 95'. Hope you enjoy it.

Find your buddies on the Net

One of the best Search Engines to find people on your list is the Four11.

Four11 can be found on the World Wide Web at

http://www.Four11.com/

Although Four11 is a free service, before you can search through their ever-growing directory of over 2 million e-mail addresses, you first have to add your own e-mail address information into their database. You do this by clicking on "FIRST TIME USERS, CLICK HERE!" on the Four11 homepage.

Once registered in, and so that you don't have to reenter your personal e-mail information each and every time you access Four11, the folks at Four11 will send you an e-mail letter telling you what your personal Four11 password is. The letter will also give you a URL that uses this password to jump straight into Four11 anytime you want. I therefore suggest you bookmark this URL!).
