RETIRED
ANNOUNCEMENT
This page has been retired. I have not recently added any new items,
nor have I recently checked the links already here to be sure they
still work.
I am keeping this page available in case some of you still might
find it useful.
Though many links may still be working, your safest course would be
to do a web search on the organization name or firm name in order to find
the latest link.
