#13 take 2

Oscar thought he wouldn't find anything exciting and useful in the webiverse, but struck it lucky today.
Oscar needed to recommend a citation/referencing tool and discovered that there's an add-on to Mozilla firefox called ZOTERO that has the potential to be very smart indeed. Although it can't do all the things it claims (like recognise SLV or LibrariesAustralia catalogues), it is a nifty way of saving sites while browsing and then downloading the info in citation or bibliography format in a Word document.
Oscar's current grouch ( re #15) is that YouTube clips loaded from igoogle take so long to load. Oscar is a bit concerned that his PC may be self-destructing. Even Hotmail takes a while to load.
#16 as Oscar doesn't have an iPod (yet, but there's hope!), podcasts aren't a lot of use, but he's downloaded a few in the past. His Lemon-shaped podcatcher seems to have disappeared - must get it back sometime.
