M is for...

Hi All,

I'm pretty amazed - we're up to the letter 'M' in our ongoing march toward the letter 'Z' when discussing popular websites. (We're half way there to the letter Z!)

So, without any further ado... M is for...

Mapquest - a great resource for users to map out directions or to find a specific location

Macy's - National retailer of upscale goods and merchandise. Lots of men's, women's and children's clothing. They also have a large housewares and jewelry department...can buy online as well as in the stores.

MTA - find information about various branches of the MTA. Other info that can be found includes schedules, fares/tolls, maps, planned service changes and much more. Oh, and the site is super easy to use and easy to read. The site has info on subways, NYC bus lines, the LIRR, Staten Island Railway, Bridges and Tunnels and the Metr0-North Railroad. Finally -and the coolest feature of the site is the Service Status indicates on the left side of the site. It tells the reader about the service status on each subway, rail, bus or bridge/tunnel - very helpful! Note that you'll need to click on a little butteon to get to the various options (subway, rail, bus...)

Miniclip - want to play a game? Click on this link from Miniclip and you can find games in categories like 'Latest Games', 'Hot Games', 'Sports Games', 'Action Games', 'Winter Games', 'Puzzle Games', 'Stunt Games' and 'Multiplayer Games'. That should keep you busy for a long, long time! Enjoy!

Moviephone - a very useful website that gives you movie times and movie news in real time. Shows you what movies are currently playing in theatres and hs movie reviews and Oscar award information. Nice interface also - and easy to use.

Mortgage calculator - just enter a few pieces of information (home value, credit profile, loan amount, purpose of loan, interest rate, loan term, property tax and PMI) and you'll get an amortization table that lists mortgage details like monthly payments, total interest paid and pay off date. Very helpful and easy to use.

Regards,
