[Web4lib] Favorite Free Web Tools

[Nancy E. Sosna Bohm]

I still use the tiny program titled eyedropper.exe to quickly get the hex 
name of a color anywhere on my desktop.
You can download it here: http://m.nu/program/util/

In my quest for character entities, I have decided this page is most useful 
(to me):
http://www.bigbaer.com/sidebars/entities/

Thank you for all the cool tool links.

I will now retreat from the tempting distractions of this list as I go into 
Digest Mode.
