| Each week part-time superhero,
full-time NewMedia Hyperstand content editor Michael Lynch will bring you
a piping-hot list of freshly baked Web sites for multimedia and Web development
pros. Unless you've been living under a rock, you'll know that Mighty Mike,
formerly of the X-Men, is a mentor to Spiderman and holds the world record
for consecutive hours of Netscape Navigator usage. Mike's the kind of guy
who just surfed on through the transition from NCSA to Netscape without
ever once closing his PPP connection. He beta-tested Lynx, for God's sake.
