>Internet Tip of the Day:
>
>HTTP
>
> You've probably noticed that some web page addresses start
>with "http://". The "http" is an acronym for Hyper Text Transfer
>Protocol and essentially lets your web browser know that you
>want to view a web page.
>
> Although we mostly use web browsers to view web pages, they
>are capable of a number of other functions. By typing "http://"
>at the beginning of a web address (i.e. http://www.icq.com) it
>lets the web browser know that it should display a web page
>rather than perform one of its other functions.
>
> Nowadays, web browsers automatically assume that we, as
>users, want to view a web page and they no longer require us
>to type the http://. We can simply type www.whatever.com.
