Fast Facts
Ready Reference
Factbox, Fast Fact Lists From Reuters
Reuters is the compiler of these wonderful lists. The only drawback is with some of the web news providers having formatting problems with them. However, it's nothing that some quick reformatting can't fix. Reuters is available from many news sources including Yahoo, CBS Marketwatch, and Northern Light, and many fee-based vendors.
Here are a few Factbox lists. Grab them while you can!
--A Timeline of Major Developments in PCs
--Recent Major Computer Bugs, Viruses, and Worms
--Recent Layoffs of 1000 or More
--Players in the Electronic Trading Systems (U.S. Fixed-Income) Space
--Major Players in the Japanese Handheld PC Space
--Top 10 Largest Point Increases in the NASDAQ (as of 4/5/01)
--Past Pepsi Advertising Campaigns

Searching can be done by topic, geography, title, and data provider. The University of California's California Digital Library developed and hosts Counting California with support from state and federal research grants."
