The author of this page has been an information miner for six years and a systems engineer in several technologies, for almost 30. That's the title of my personal home page. The Voice of the Shuttle covers a lot of territory. There are many useful resources in the parent page from which you clicked to get here. But like anysNet effort, The Shuttle cannot be kept absolutely current to the world in real time.
Links go stale.
New links emerge. Web Wizards keep adding more information at more sites. The Wizard at UCSB has only so much time to maintain general resources like the Internet page. Thus Internet users sometimes have trouble locating information efficiently . This Quick Search page is designed to help newcomers overcome that disability by collecting and explaining some high value resource sites where newcomers may become productive quickly.
