Does anyone else get irritated that the rest of the world seems to think
that 4 and 5 are the same? I see lots and lots of advertisements in
magazines and on television that have 'URLs' of the form www.ourwebsite.com
with no preceding 'http://'. In fact I'm even more irritated now that
Outlook Express has highlighted the www. as if it were a link...
It seems to me that only a small number of people in the world think that 4
and 5 are different. Perhaps more education is necessary... or maybe it's
already too late... the mainstream browser accepts 'URLs' of the format
shown in 5 :-(
