The Internet Guru

Well, I am living through my first summer in Las Vegas; not much different than Houston in terms of heat, but much better with the humidity here. Of course, my shoes haven't started to melt yet on certain days, which some people indicate can happen on certain pavements.

Anyway, I have two great topics with Internet resources to share with you in this issue.

Telecommuting is a hot topic in the business and corporate communities, and is even making an appearance in some libraries.

Knowing the phone numbers and addresses of your congressman/woman, or other government officials, is very important in many situations, so I have provided some web sites to find out this information.

As usual, links are current as of 7/10/2000. I am always looking for new topics to feature in this

column, so contact me if you have any. Enjoy!!
