    Personally I feel the current major BBC related sites are more than
adequate for providing links to BBC Micro resources (BBC Lives, 8bs, BBC
Docu. Project, etc) and we don't need a access point for the resources.
The reason I say this - each site pretty much links itself to the next
because there arent too many sites in existance and yours simply would
be a list of these sites - adding just another Internet site of listings
to the already busy world of Internet link lists of lists of lists
of.....
    
    Also - you've 'cribbed' a few items - especially the USER GUIDE that
looks extremely like the version from Mark Usher's Docu. Project - and
not researched too well (i.e. your links are surely just results from
Search Engines as you've missed out one of the best sites by Robert
Shmidt!)
    
    And why recommend that the pages are best viewed on MSIE 1024 x 768
- surely 800x600 and any browser is best ?
    
    Sorry to get on my soapbox but I feel something had to be said and
hope you've had other responses too. (Nicer than mine I hope).
