INSTEAD of throwing away your old computers or printers why don't you look at ways to recycle them?

There are many organisations who would like to take obsolete kit off your hands and spruce it up for charitable groups to use.

One website, Our Kids Sports (www.ourkidsports.com), ha lasunched Kicks 'n' Clicks 2003, which aims to get businesses to recycle used electrical equipment.

The project aims to refurbish and redistribute computers from businesses throughout the North West to junior and senior amateur sports organisations.

Kicks 'n' Clicks will arrange collection of obsolete equipment, have it safety checked, format the hard drive to remove all data and then install an operating system and the software applications the sports organisations need.

The team also provides online and e-mail support and can install and configure systems in club premises.

THERE'S a community atmosphere to the biblion.com website, home to the world's rare and unusual books.

The site is targeted at book lovers, from dealers to readers, and gives browsers the chance to track down antiquarian titles, for example.

But the site is also keen to provide a wide-ranging service, with book binding information and up-to-date listings of book fairs.

You could also check if you have a valuable first edition by seeing if it is on the site and the price it is going for.

And if you run your own site you can link-up with biblion through an affiliate scheme -- a good idea for people with fans' sites.

The site is clear and simply laid out and gives you a chance to browse the digital bookshelves .

HOW about this for a mad Internet site -- a collection of other people's shopping lists (keaggy.com/grocerylists/).

There are around two hundred lists. with everything from scribbled notes for tomatoes to typed-out lists for tofu and linguine.

Of course, it's based in the USA and people have even collected lists to send to the site editor to put online.

AN investigation by the Office of Fair Trading (www.oft.gov.uk) identified more than 50 UK travel websites which made potentially misleading claims.

The study found that 40 per cent (54 out of 135) of UK-based websites visited during its search contained false claims.

Claims that are now being investigated include an offer advertising seven nights in Austria in March for £99, when the cheapest price available was actually £259.

And 'hot deals' on a front page which bear no resemblance to the prices of the holiday actually available on the website.
