OK, I can immediately help you out there. The best BBC sites on the Web are: 

8BS (8-Bit Software) - http://www.8bs.karoo.net

Johnathon G. Harston, 8BS member K8G (I think) - http://mdfs.net/
jgh@... (I think that's still his mail) he's the guy you want
for BBC Networking systems 

Sprow, one still commercially producing for Beeb for sure - http://www.sprow.uk
and sales@... 

BBC Micro and Electrons Games site - http://www.bbc.freewire.co.uk dllm@...

BBC Micro ROM Images http://www.fortunecity.com/skyscraper/hirez/422 and
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Lakes/7207/index

The BBC Lives!  Robert Schmidt@...@nvg.ntnu.no at http://www.nvg.ntnu.no/bbc
BBC software galore!

PC BBC Emulator Stuart McConnachie.  PCBBC is the best BBC emulator running
on PC that I know, brilliant, contact him stuart@... and see
the site http://www.bburne.demon.co.uk/bbc.html

BBC Emulators for RISC machines are at Warm Silence http://www.warmsilence.demon.co.uk/products.html#6502Em 
contact robin.watts@... and paul.gardin@... as 6502Em is the
best BBC emulator for the Archie compat machines I have ever known.  Definite
BBC Master emulator there.  I'm sure PCBBC has it too.

For all Acorn sites in general visit Cybervillage http://www.cybervillage.co.uk 
as the list for 32-bits goes on and on and I don't have that much time. 
 They sure will lead you to hundereds of decent ones round the world.  A
good one I have is RiscStation, CTA Direct, http://www.riscstation.co.uk
sales@... where there are very competitive Acorn compat computer
models.

Superior Software Ltd. http://www.easyweb.easynet.co.uk/beeb/ leads you 
to other big-name BBC games producers too, some whom are still making games,
at least selling popular old ones commercially, like defunct Micro Power
and Acornsoft, Firebird, Blue Ribbon, etc.

Phew, I've gone through a list here.  Now I know why they have search engines!
 Hope it's helped you! :-)  All you posse out there tell me if I missed any
out.  Thanks.
