Anthony's list of Internet Accessible Machines


Update: As of late 2000 I'm no longer maintaining this list - thanks for all the notes and links... and keep hacking!

Overview

I've attempted to list mainly devices that (probably) took a significant investment of time, ingenuity, and talent (or a bunch of money I suppose) from their creators. I'm deliberately leaving out many camera sites because they are fairly easy to do these days...
