~*~*~Your question, what to do on the puter...I think for the most part what you mention is about all anyone does with their puters unless they use them for work purposes, but if you really like reading newspapers, in my opinion a great sight is newslink.org and if you go by state you will find a lot of different papers to read. I've lately been to a paper in Canada and go to their forums section about the war....some of those are good. If you are interested, go to the newslink sight, then to Canada,then daily, then the Calgary Herald and in the upper right go to forums. I know it isn't local, but it is still interesting to see what those people say about us. I also think another good sight is refdesk.com It has all kinds of neat, and different things on it. I bet you could for sure find something on there to your liking. Happy surfing. :D
