INFORMAVORE's SUNDAY No 438

My dear friends, 


This could have been the main, Search column of my now deceased
newsletter Info Kappa- my selections of valuable links according to my ideas and principles. The target public was curious but serious people from Romania. Now this is extended but I am thinking about the people from the same minority- from everywhere. My insticts of journalist say that I ahve to make some changes- but I too confused being jobless for the first time after >51.5 years and having a brand new  computer with a great part of my database unavailable. Plus very interesting events in the field of Cold Fusion. Your suggestions re changes are welcome, thank you in advance- my modest ambition is that INFO-SEARCH should a very rich and reliable source of information.


Here it is, Info Kappa style:
