NOTES

- Berkeley Systems, Inc. - I do not know if this is supported by
  Berkeley or not...if so, it's not very well kept.
- Gateway 2000 Users Group - this user group is officially supported
  and recognized by Gateway 2000, as well as other companies like IBM.
- Hercules Computer Technology - the WWW and FTP sites above are
  officially supported by Hercules; however, they will have their own
  web/ftp server up and running in early February.  They will be
  "www.hercules.com" and "ftp.hercules.com."
- ID Software - this server is up, though I don't believe they've
  actually written any documents yet.
- Micron - I was told by Micron that their server would be up in late
  Jan./ early Feb. 
- The Sony server is up and running, though they haven't added support
  for their monitors yet....or for any other of their electronics' products.
- Thomas-Conrad Corporation - I haven't been able to connect to this
  site in over two weeks...I don't know what's up.
- Toshiba America - I don't believe this is officially supported but
  it does include some pretty good info on their notebooks/laptops
- Wyse Technology - they have a few HTML "home page" documents on a
  other servers but I was asked to use their new server (above); it will
  go online between the 15th and 18th of January.
- U.S. Robotics Corporation - I don't believe this is officially
  supported but it does give some good info on their products.
- Xircom - I don't know if this is a supported site in the works or
  not...I'll let you be the judge
