Also, with regard to your comment above about the term "World Wide Web" see my Jan. 28 posting concerning what Tim Berners-Lee had to say about that term: <a href="http://blog.contentious.com/archives/000090.html">http://blog.contentious.com/archives/000090.html</a> - Amy Gahran Editor, CONTENTIOUS Cute :-)

I guess working on and via the net since 1987 can make things like that happen. A cardinal rule of being on the net is to question everything you read and not to accept it on face value.

All our web browsers can be renamed *Biffilators*, and the act of browsing could be called *Biffing*, as in "I spent a couple of hours last night biffing. I will no longer create websites - it'll be *Biff-burps* instead, and individual pages will be "Biff-whifs". Those who manage and create Biff-burps will be *Biffmeisters* And we can really rename the internet as the *interweb*!! Bonus ;^) OK lets get on this Web->Biff rollover thing; I’m behind it 100%.
