Favorite Internet Resource:  First in line would be my website, http://www.nctitlesearch.com/. Then, thanks to a recent Lawyers Mutual CLE, I was directed to a site that allows you to upload and edit PDF files for FREE: http://www.pdfescape.com/. I've used it a bunch in the last week or so, and at the price of FREE, it's way cheaper than Adobe Acrobat. Lastly, http://www.sourceoftitle.com/ is another great website I like to visit.
