PC Magazine does it again!  As I’ve been watching the Ravens vs. Steelers I’ve also been looking at the 2009  version of this invaluable list!  I used the opportunity to share some useful Web based resources from the list with my wife.  Now, she thinks I’m a genius!   Shh!  Don’t tell her otherwise.
