Commas in this sentence

0Hi all,02br
00Please could you tell me whether the commas in this sentence are correct:02br
00'Revolutionising our everyday appliances, giving us access to a huge database, the Internet, and preventing paper-wars are just some of the practical uses computers provide.' 02br
00The rule is when listing, do not put a comma before 'and'. However, in this sentence where I wrote: "...huge database, the Internet, and preventing..." the second comma seems necessary.02br
00Thanks very much!02br
