(OT) Thanks, Erik - some neat suggestions. On the same topic I'd like to put in another plug for the Opera browser - I think it has pretty much all the features you describe in Mozilla, and then some (like saving passwords, preventing pop-ups, neat mouse gestures and much more). I use it for virtually everything - only places I sometimes have trouble are webcasts. Peter

Software and internet searches. I have taken away the O-T prefix. This is close enough to why we are here. I would like to follow-up my previous post with some comments with regard to Newsaggregators. This is a completely new concept to me. I just happened to stumble over it and have been trying to figure out if it can be useful and how. A short description of the concept just to give an idea what it is all about: davenet.userland.com Coming back to the biotech thema. How can this be useful? Well there are a lot of RSS-feeds out there. And as this phenomenon will catch on, there will be more. I have set up the following (I am still just starting to figure this thing out). HubMed. This should be extremely useful for anyone who tries to follow a certain subject on PubMed. Through Hubmed it is possible to create a PubMed query, that is also a RSS-feed. Through HubMed I can then pull any new items straight to my desktop without having to go to any site and define my searches over and over again. I have now set up 4 searches (Natalizumab, bortezomib, CTLA-4 and Millennium). It appears to be working. When a new item is posted to PubMed in any of my areas of interest, I will have it on my desk in no time. This can be very powerful. Medscape. Medscape has created RSS-feeds for all their categories as well as for All News and All headlines. (I am starting to like Medscape more and more. They carry a lot of interesting information that cannot be found elsewhere). In the pipeline. This is Corante's biotech blog. A lot of the bloggers make their sites available through RSS. Reuters Health. Reuters Health News is available through a RSS-feed. Moreover - Biotech news. A collection of biotech related articles from various news media. There are more - but this is what I have set up so far. What I am missing is for example SEC's Edgar filings, Google News searches (it might be possible to do, but I have not figured it out yet) and ClinicalTrials.org. But they will come - their format are as created for this distribution method. I have tried a couple of different Newsaggregation software programs and decided on NewszCrawler as I like its format. It is shareware with a price of USD 25. There are a number of others, but at present I feel this one is good enough. Erik
