Nay, for God, knowledge is the most glorious gift of man and the most noble of human perfections. To oppose knowledge is ignorant, and he who detests knowledge and science is not a man, but rather an animal without intelligence. For knowledge is light, life, felicity, perfection, beauty and the means of approaching the Threshold of Unity. It is the honor and glory of the world of humanity, and the greatest bounty of God. Knowledge is identical with guidance, and ignorance is real error.

-- Abdu'l-Baha -- Some Answered Questions,

Some background thoughts!!

Love of Mankind and the Internet.

Love is the reason for the Internet.
God has given us this gift so we can express our love. The Internet will continue because love of individuals for individuals and our general heartfelt love for mankind will encourage us to develop beautiful websites.

The Internet is not about money and making a profit. The real profit is the connecting of people together in common interests. Look at the best sites and you will find love.

How I got involved.
It was about three years ago. A fellow named Frank asked me to help him to develop a new formatting technique for Project Gutenberg materials.

I thought it a good opportunity to learn XML and get some of the old classics out to the public. I think he got very busy doing jobs that actually pay money so I was left very much on my own. I found my formatting skills improving and decided to set up a website to test the new browsers. Netscape and Opera were both working hard to get XML browsers functioning.
IE 5.0 was already up and functioning well.

As they say, one thing led to another. 2700 novels and collections later we are up and mostly running.

You will find Netscape 6.1 functional with this site. They decided to follow the rules. (That includes you using the download kit)
Give it a try!

I find Opera 5.10 the fastest browser and recommend it if you are using it exclusively to read my site.

I have always enjoyed books and wish one day to write a successful sci-fi novel.

Hope you enjoy this site!!
P.S. You are about to see some novels that I did all the work on.
I scanned them and proofread them.
You can find some text versions at here
