them busy for weeks. A myriad of links to everything a Corvette
enthusiast could possibly want. The online shop has a vast array
of goods including collectibles, videos, jackets and caps, manuals
and guides, and glass and ceramics. Other interesting links are
the Vette chat, a Virtual Tour of the Museum, Trivia Contest,
and live Webcam with a choice of 4 cameras situated in and

Anne Collins

Tue Sep 26 10:32:34 +0000 2000
This site for slimming consultant Anne Collins boasts, "Eat Lots,
get slim," a slogan that, like the unrealistically skinny cartoon
of Anne on the homepage, is sure to capture the attention of hopeful
surfers. Stating that her diet can enable a weight loss of 2 stone
in 7 weeks, the Anne Collins diet is available to buy online at a
cost of IEP14.95 via standard post or IEP9.95 by e-mail. Other links
on the site include sample recipes, menus, and a facility to request
a face-to-face consultation.
Rijksmuseum
http://www.rijksmuseum.nl
Tue Sep 26 10:32:34 +0000 2000
The world renowned Rijksmuseum of Amsterdam houses the largest
collection of art and history in the Netherlands, and now it's
all online for your viewing pleasure. Thoroughly elegant and well
designed, the site gives visitors an excellent view of the museum's
collection, perhaps best known for its 20 Rembrandts. This year the
museum celebrates its bicentenary, and exhibitions information, a
virtual tour and educational facilities make this a must-see site
for art fans everywhere. If you're visiting Amsterdam this summer,
the General Information area will help you locate the museum, opening
times and accessibility details to let see its treasures in person.
OneFootball
http://www.onefootball.com
Tue Sep 26 10:32:34 +0000 2000
This huge one-stop resource for European football is compiled in
London but features updated daily news from 16 different countries,
including Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. The usual
links to Euro 2000, Uefa Cup and Champions League news are all
provided, but unexpected extras include Travel Specials provided
by ebookers.com and betting odds with a link to eurobet.co.uk.
Another fetching feature is "On this Day", a daily historic look
back through the years on past football events. With a database
searchable by News, Players or Team, plus quizzes, this site will
keep the footie fan amused for hours.

http://www.fly2thesun.com
Tue Sep 26 10:32:34 +0000 2000
Feel like doing something spontaneous? This new travel Web site,
similar to the UK's lastminute.com, lets you find good prices
on last-minute one-week and two-week holidays departing from
Irish airports, both north and south. Click to see the current
last- minute offers, or search by vacation type or destination.
Weather and hotel info drawn from other Web sites is also

Asthma Society of Ireland
http://www.asthmasociety.ie
Tue Sep 26 10:32:34 +0000 2000
The Asthma Society of Ireland's site is not only packed with
information, advice and articles for asthma sufferers and their
families, it also includes a rather good online shop. Choose
from products including health equipment and books as well as
videos, which are available to schools free of charge. Donations
to the society can be made online. Sadly, the children's asthma
links were not working when we visited.
Email Shows
http://www.emailshows.com
Tue Sep 26 10:32:34 +0000 2000
This voyeuristic US Web site has gained thousands of followers
because it has a compelling proposition: when visitors subscribe
to this free service, they get copied on messages that are being
sent among fictional characters embroiled in fictional scenarios.
Listen in as a group of young friends swap angst-ridden mails
about their personal and professional troubles, or a documentary
filmmaker talks about his travails on the set. Easy instructions
let subscribers leave the lists whenever they like.
Runningman
http://www.runningmanonline.com
Tue Sep 26 10:32:34 +0000 2000
Presumably he'll have to slow to a slow, laborious hack through
the jungle when the terrain gets too dense, but until then,
surfers can jog alongside Runningman as he treks through the
wilds of Suriname. Runningman is actually a group of three
travellers who hope their South American odyssey will spark
new debate about the world's ecological problems by reporting
first-hand from troubled areas. This engaging site provides
RealVideo, on-line discussions and some rather well-written
travelogues from the group, whose progress is being tracked
by GPS satellite. A good way to experience the jungle without
the itching.
