Excite.com
The excite search engine has been around for a long time. Recently someone with an excite email address subscribed to the newsletter, reminding me that I have had an excite email address of my own for about 8 years or more. This is a good free email box with real nice features, such as a block senders list etc. You can also customize a home page with things that you would like to have on a home page. You can check it out at www.excite.com You can click on email in the upper right portion of the web page and sign up for a free account.

Spell Checker
If you use Outlook Express as your email box and have Microsoft Word, Works or Office also on your computer, then you have a spell checker in Outlook Express. If you do not have Microsoft Word, Works or Office, you will not have a spell checker in Outlook Express, this spell.exe download will give you a spell checker. This spell checker will work if you have Outlook Express 6.0 or newer and will work on some later versions of Outlook Express 5.0. If you already have a spell checker in Outlook Express or are not sure, do not use this download. www.geocities.com/vampirefo
