Christopher Spry's Web

Links to useful Internet sites.

Introduction

These are my personal links to help me get around the WWW. This 'collection' was started in 1995, before web browsers had 'bookmarks' and web sites used 'frames'. I try to keep these pages up to date. Please email me with corrections and updates. My interests are shown by the headings below. I suggest that you click on one of these to find possible links of use to you. A few links are to local files which are only visible from my PCs.

See the Introduction and purposes of this web site. It has over 120 pages in 4.3-MB with over 5,000 hyperlinks. Visitors to the site see over 1,500 pages/day.
