Searching Information from the WWW
After you have double-clicked the ISP icon or the web browser’s icon, a web page will
display on your screen. You will see a white box under the menu bar in which a web address
is being displayed. The web address is the character string prexed with http:// The characters
following the http:// are the actual web address or “uniform resource locator (URL)”.
There are several web sites which allow you to search for useful information on the cyberspace.
You can start from the web sites of yahoo or google. Their web addresses are: http://www.
yahoo.com and www.google.com respectively.
Enter www.yahoo.com in the box into which a valid URL is to be given. The rst (home) page
of the Yahoo web site will display. On that page you can easily nd a search box, type AOpen
into that search box, and Yahoo will return its search results to you in one second. From the
search result, you can visit AOpen’s corporate web site and get downloads, useful product
information, and technical support service from that site. There are many other sites which
provide useful information and resources to end users. For example, http://www.lycos.com/ is
one such site.
Sending Instant Message/Chatting
Another useful web site is: http://www.msn.com, which is the portal site from which you can
get the free MSN Messenger software to send instant messages to your friends or family.
