Many moons ago - 1999 I put together (from suggestions given by other
posters to urg) a faq of suppliers. See link in sig - it's up again.

Well, Real Life (TM) has intervened somewhat in the last few years and
it was last updated in 2002 (and I remember not finishing it then). It
is now seriously out of date, in particular, lots of companies have got
websites, which they didn't have then, and I'm sure a few have moved ,
gone bust, and it could do with additions.

Now I'm happy to leave it up, hosting it isn't problem. But it could
really do with updating, or I will probably take it down. One day I may
get round to updating it, but don't hold your breath.

So, what do we think? Is it useful document still? (it was getting
steady flow of hits when I last looked) does someone want to take it
over an update it? (I could continue to host it if required). Or do I
stick it in the virtual bin?

Hi Chris,

pro's and cons:

The FAQ was really useful back in the days before Google came along to solve all
our 'I need to find such and such......'.
I'm personally slowly ditching nearly ALL my bookmarks, FAQ sites etc as I can
soon find what I need by searching.

However - lots of people are not very handy with search engines, so for them FAQ
etc are very useful indeed.

Maybe some other URGler will feel the urge to update it a bit.
