Measdays on the Net

(Updated August 24, 2000)

I gathered these links using various WWW search engines. David Measday is cited far and wide on the Internet, so I only list his home page. Mark Measday, being involved in all things Internet-related, is hard to miss on the web; his home page is well worth visiting. Stephen Measday, the Australian writer, is all over the Internet, too; one of these days, I'll order and read some of his books!

Some of the links have gone stale since I began keeping this list; I update them when and if I can, but, for their name's sake, I don't delete anyone whose last remaining link has disappeared.

My apologies for any mistakes in the things I say about people I don't know; please feel free to correct me!
