USEFUL NON-FM LINKS
The list of links below contains some of Peter Kimmel's favorite non-FM-related Web sites. If you have others you want to suggest, please send an e-mail. Also send an e-mail if you discover that a link no longer works (sometimes, page names can be changed, and we don't always find out right away).
After you check out the links, we invite you to explore the FMLink Web site. Peter is the Publisher of FMLink. FMLink is the largest information-based Web site for facilities managers, and is full of FM news, magazine articles, newsgroups, vendor directories and much more.
