There are literally millions of links pages on the World Wide Web plus many powerful search engines to help you find what you're looking for, so our goal is not to come up with yet another huge list of links, but rather the ones that we've found useful or informative.

If you request that we add a link here and we don't, please don't be upset - we want to keep this short and sweet.

What's Here?

  Visual Basic links.
  Rod's favorite links.
  Internet related links.
  SCSI related links.

Visual Basic Links

  Innovative Data Solutions. IDS have some very powerful OLE servers to handle email and an OLE wrapper around the RASDial control that allows use from both 16-bit and 32-bit containers.
  Visual Basic Web Directory. This site has a ton of links for the VB user - probably the most extensive I've seen.
  VB-World is one of those VB websites where someone that knows something about color was involved in the design! It's really nice to look at, full of info and has a not-yet-completed, but very promising tutorial for people that know nothing about VB.
  Keng Ng has an ActiveX control that mimics a Star Trek console - totally useless but cool all the same!

Rod's Favorites

  Lyngemark Satellite Chart is the best satellite chart on the Internet. You can also see my Java SatTracker control in action.
  Tele-Satellite is an excellent satellite related magazine. It's published six times a year, which of course gives you two months of quality bathroom reading to get through all the info!
  Hauppauge. The guys have been making video capture and display boards for years and now that the PCI bus and DirectX are upon us, have designed a really excellent TV display add-in for Windows 95 and NT. Best of all, the WinCast/TV board costs less than a hundred bucks!
  The Hollywood Plus MPEG-2 decoder card from Sigma Designs is an excellent low cost way to play MPEG-1 & 2 content on Windows PCs, especially on Windows NT 4.0. Works fine with 1280x1024 resolution - pitty it doesn't do HDTV...

  Adobe PageMill. I used to write straight HTML prior to getting this product. If you want to create Web pages, this is one awesome tool.
  Microsoft's VB5CCE. This is a version of Visual Basic for developing ActiveX controls. Excellent stuff and free.
  The MMF (Make Money Fast) Hall of Humiliation. One man's very well written, funny and brutal attack on these Spamheads.
