Using a People Finder        Now that you are e-mail savvy, you would like to know if any of your long lost buddies (or sweethearts!) have an e-mail address. Or perhaps you want to find the phone number and address of a colleague in another state. The following links direct you to online directories - much like telephone books. They can be used to find names, locations, email addresses, and other information on people. (Kind of scary, huh?) :-\        However, just because someone has an e-mail address doesn't necessary mean that they are listed in the directories. Some ISP's and free e-mail programs automatically submit this information to one or more directories, some give you the choice of having your address submitted, and others don't bother with it at all.
