We do a lot of work for the environment and the Internet and hope that you
will find some useful resources on this page. If you have an environmental
page of your own email it to us.
We'll find a place here and link to you. If you are wondering what a Trogon
is (or looks like) check out one of our favorite sites, Southeast Arizona
Bird Observatory (SABO), for a picture.
Here are some resources we find useful...
If you are
looking for Trogon Computers, you are lost...
You really want to go to www.trogoncomputer.com.
Some other popular misspellings include www.tragon.com,
www.tregon.com and www.trigon.com.

San Francisco Bay. During the last decade its members, starting
with Phillip and Florence
LaRiviere have succeeded in saving much of the remaining
wetlands in the southern San Francisco Bay ecosystem. Catch up
on the latest newsletters and late-breaking news or learn more

Project VoteSmart
- This is the best non-partisan political resource we've found.
Project VoteSmart provides detailed information on national and
state politicians. Included are voting records, extremely detailed
campaign financing data, and the politician's "grades" from a
wide variety of special-interest groups.

-
Windows 95 shareware and freeware
- This is a site you don't want to miss if you are using Windows95.
The windows95.com webmaster has assembled an excellent collection
of Internet
software and other
general purpose software.
-
Ziff-Davis (the magazine publishers)
- Ziff-Davis has a fairly extensive collection of software for
both Macs and PCs (including both Windows 3.1x and Windows95).

Do you think that you'd like to have your own home page, but don't know
where to start? Here are some resources that might help you get going
(it's not really that hard--if you have a word processor then you can
create and view your own web pages!)
-
Use a word
processor to design a basic web page.
-
***This portion is still being developed. The sample page is not yet
available.***
Click here
to load a sample web page. Save this page on your hard disk and open
it with your word processor. Experiment with changes to the content
and view your changes by opening the page in your web browser. Just
be sure to save the page in text form with the suffix .htm (or .html,
if you have a Mac or a PC with Windows 95).
-
Find an
Internet Service Provider (ISP) that can host your web pages.
- You can work with and view your web pages without ever connecting
to the Internet--unfortunately no one else will be able to. An ISP lets
you save your web pages on their computers, making them accessible to
the Internet. Most ISPs that provide dial-in accounts also have these
"web hosting" services, so give your ISP a call. If they don't provide
web hosting, then try contacting the two services I use, Scruznet
and Cruzio.
-
Check out
some art and online literature about HTML (the language of web pages).
- Web pages look nice when they include art. This page uses a background
picture (the "sandstone" strip down the left edge, and art for buttons
and arrows.
