INTERNET: RESOURCES : RESEARCH: RESOURCES: Erik Max Francis

Corporations, organizations, colleges and universities, governments and
elementary and high schools produce some marvelous, informative and
invaluable websites and resource pages.  But so do individual people.
Erik Max Francis is a person and he has come to produce a valuable and
very useful website resource for which his middle name is quite
appropriate.

Before using his resource, some may wish to meet and shake hands with Erik
virtually.

About Erik Max Francis
<http://www.alcyone.com/max/info/personal.html>

"I've been continually participating in Usenet newsgroups (mostly science
and computer science related) since 1990 September. According to Google
Groups, I've posted approximately 25 000 articles in that time, under only
four email addresses over the years. My first post to Usenet as
max@xxxxxxxxxxx was in 1996 January. I post most frequently to
rec.arts.sf.science, though (and my first post there was in 1992 April).
If you check any of these groups you're likely to see one of my posts;
Google Groups is a place to look, if you don't have easy access to Usenet
newsgroups directly. Here's a link to the Google Groups author posting
history for me."

Then one might like to have a bit more insight into what to expect from
the web pages of Erik Max Francis.

About Erik Max Francis' homepages
<http://www.alcyone.com/max/info/about.html>

These are intentionally minimalist pages. You won't see huge images,
animating GIFs, ridiculous backgrounds, complicating frames. All that's
here are words.

Hopefully, though, you'll see things which are informative and interesting
