But the best way for you to help is when you find dead links, use the Feedback Form on the main ToC page to tell me about it! Then, I'll either remove them or locate the replacement Web site(s). Simply whining about how your valuable time has been wasted due to dead links is not being constructive. :)
The file currently used here is a copy of the raw Firefox bookmarks.html with embedded icons stripped out. It is simply inserted into the sambook.htm wrapper. So, the actual HTML is a bit uglier than desired and there is no table of contents but it's not much larger than necessary. Eventually I'll have a script that beautifies it but for now, this is a much easier to keep up to date as links come and go than what I used to do. Don't ask. :)
The bookmarks, below, are divided into major categories and sometimes further sub-divided but not too deeply. I apologize for the organization (or relative lack thereof). Maybe someday I will reformat this stuff using fancy HTML tables and add meaningful descriptions of each entry. Then again, maybe pigs will fly. :-) This version is pretty clean but I don't guarantee that for the subsequent ones - I 'processed' it mostly by hand (well, OK, I did use a computer!) with some help from GNU EMACS and a PERL script, courtesy of Filip G. :) The fancy formatting will have to wait until after the pigs start flying. :)
