A lot of that comes from plain ignorance. I taught a senior citizen community ed class on the internet, and many people did not know the difference between a "browser" and a "server" To them, it was all jargon, and it was difficult to explain things in terms they could understand. Now, that is an extreeme case, but there are a lot of people out there that do not know you can just type the location you want to go to in the location bar. They either open the "Go To" box, click on the search button (to google or msn or whatever). On that subject, I would guess everyone reading this has a fairly good grasp of how to at least surf the net. The next time you see someone doing things the hard way, instead of mocking them, show them an easier way. Maybe if we can increase the 'net IQ of people, MS would not be as able to control mass populations. :-) (this excludes the stubern people who dont care what you have to say, of course) Jay On Wednesday 28 November 2001 05:35 pm, you wrote: > On Wed, Nov 28, 2001 at 01:23:04PM -0600, duncan wrote: > > Google has stats on search queires on sept 11th, as well as other dates: > > > > Sept 11: > > http://www.google.com/press/zeitgeist/9-11-search.html > > > > Other dates: > > http://www.google.com/press/zeitgeist.html > > > > Ive always been interested in this info, sorry if you are not. > > > > duncan > > I'll never understand why people would search for cnn don't they know its > cnn.com?
