On the web, content is king. Far more important than glitzy graphics, content makes people come back again and again.
Let's see how WebFoot measures this month's chosen web sites:

Ratings			Info
Content	Links	Glitz	Type	Site (url) and Comments
A+	F	B+	OS/2	LEO - OS/2 Archive (http://www.leo.org/archiv/os2/). LEO (Link Everything Online) has a wonderful collection of OS/2 files. Check this out – it’s easy to view and there’s plenty here.
A	B	B	Java	Java Lobby (http://www.javalobby.org/). Over 15,000 members strong, and coming for you. Terry Warren, hold them back.
A+	C	B	Internet	Netscape 5 Source Code Download (http://www.mozilla.org/download.html). It’s all here, the complete source code as of the termination of the project. Care to join the OS/2 port effort? The Duck hasn’t been this excited since his carnival job dancing on a hot plate.
C	A	C	OS/2	Yahoo’s OS/2 Links Page (http://www.yahoo.com/Computers_and_Internet/Operating_Systems/OS_2). All nicely organized with not a single search word required.
A+	F	A	Unicode	The Unicode Consortium (http://www.unicode.org/). Let’s say you need the proper character set for the Native American tongue of Cherokee. You’ll need this site.
B+	C	D	OS/2	Comp.OS.OS2.Announce (news://comp.os.os2.announce). Products, upgrades, meetings, more.
A+	B	C-	Internet	Hints and Tips for Plug-Ins for Netscape Navigator for OS/2 Warp (http://budgetweb.com/os2/plugins.html). A good help site for those bad Netscape plug-ins.
B-	F	C+	OS/2	Warp FM - IBM’s Premiere OS/2 Newsletter (http://www.software.ibm.com/os/warp/warpfm/warpex40/). Hey! WarpCast with an IBM spin!
B	C-	B+	Internet	Internet Adventurer (http://www.inetadv.net). “OS/2’s Premier Internet Suite” might make your next Internet binge a no-hangover affair.
A	C	C+	Email	Inet.Mail for OS/2 Internet Mail Server 1.2.1 (http://www.hethmon.com/). You installed the free copy of the previous release you got at last year’s Warpstock, right? Now comes version 1.2.1, and they’re “offering this release as a free upgrade to current customers”.
