Part of the fun of the net is finding little treasures of information.
Here, you will find occasional quests that are worth up to
five points each. Send them to me email or give them to me hard copy
in class. Remember: You MUST give the sources of the information for
full credit.

These are EXTRA CREDIT. I will put up one or two every week or so.
