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.
