Hahaha! Yeah, *when it works*. Half the time I click on something,
it pauses for a few seconds, then says "www.foobar.edu -- unable to
connect to site" where www.foobar.edu is some address I've never heard
of and had no idea I was supposed to be connecting to.

I'll consider using WWW and HTML for my FAQs when I can see WWW
working on my desktop, and not a moment sooner.
