>>> And here endeth the sermon from the netcop....
Cath,
Something to take your mind out of the fog....
"What is the Internet?
The Internet today is a large-scale network of millions of computers
that allows continuous communication across the globe. The various
applications of the Internet are:
* The World-Wide Web (the web or WWW)
* Electronic Mail (E-Mail)
* File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
* Internet Relay chat (IRC)
* USENET (a news service)"
Just a small quote from:-

Makes interesting reading......
Why I can remember way back when the usenet portion of the Internet
was just showing its face.
Knew a chap who worked at a university, and he had great delight in
showing us reams of paper, which had been transmitted ONE (1) letter
per page, as part of a message.
Now back to today, "Usenet" is still a part of the internet.
Meaning "interconnected"
It just so happens that for most the only part they see is the WWW
secton of the "Internet"
Hope you have a nice day..
