Verified Jul-02. On 30-Sep-03 Air France announced a takeover/merger of KLM but according to reports the KLM name will remain in use for some years.
The timetable program can be downloaded and then used offline. Timetable updates can be downloaded and installed without needing to download or reinstall the program, but be sure to uninstall any previous version of the program before installing each new edition. Verified Jul-02.
This site includes a facility to look up air fares for the entire KLM/Northwest route system but as with so many similar sites you have to enter precise flight dates and times (leading you to fear that a reservation will be made even when you just want to look up prices), the response time is very poor, the operation very vague and unreliable and the resulting prices apparently very far from being competitive. A particular problem with this site is that each flight is listed repeatedly under its various flight numbers, once as a KLM flight, again as a Northwest flight and for the feeder flights to Amsterdam yet again as a KLM UK flight. Verified Jul-02.

This is KOA's official site with useful information about the chain in general. It includes a good KOA campsite directory with maps, photographs and other details. Verified Nov-97.
This appears to be a site created by one specific KOA campground. It contains some information about the chain in general. Verified Apr-97.
This section of Kodak's site features photographs taken every mile along several US highways by creator Matt Frondorf, in a manner somewhat similar style to the BBC's classic "London To Brighton in Three Minutes" stop-frame film. This clever and potentially valuable concept is ruined by it apparently being impossible to save or download the material for offline viewing. The images flash past too quickly to assimilate and to save them individually (if this is possible) would be an enormous task. Verified Dec-99.
Includes a store locator and details of current special offers. Verified Apr-04.
The Kroger group includes City Market, Kroger's, Ralph's, Smith's and several other supermarket chains, plus the Fred Meyer department store chain. Verified Sep-02.
This fast food chain operates in southeastern states only, offering breakfasts and hamburgers. Verified Mar-02.
A gas station chain operating mainly in the Midwest, South and Northwestern USA. Verified Mar-06.
This very interesting personal site offers information on roads and highways in the USA, including a "Field Guide To Interchanges". There are also Java programs (some of which are downloadable) for creating your own realistic US highway signs (SignMaker), simulating a drive along highways which were planned but never constructed (TD71) and designing your own highway layouts (MATR). Verified Apr-02.
I'm informed that this gas station chain is known as Kwik Trip in Minnesota and Wisconsin but as Kwik Star in Iowa, due to a lawsuit with Quik Trip. Verified Mar-06.
