There are many kinds of networks including... 1.) local-area networks (LANs): the computers are geographically close together (that is, in the same building). 2.) wide-area networks (WANs): The computers are farther apart and are connected by telephone lines or radio waves.

I visited my friend, Mark, who has a huge fish tank in his family room. It's filled with beautiful tropical fish... large ones.

I tried and tried to take some pics of the constantly moving creatures with my digital camera but the auto focus was continually being confused by the glass and the water. All the pics were out of focus. I finally gave up and let Chris, my friend's 12 year old son, play with the camera. A short while later Chris calls me over to his computer and proudly shows the fish he "caught" with the digital camera.

We moved. With a normal online account (AOL, Earthlink, etc.) you get space on your ISP's (Internet Service Provider's) server (computer) to create a web site. Most people don't even use this space.

I decided to purchase a DOMAIN NAME (a DOT COM name). I chose the name 'ComputerGuyNY.com' There is a global nonprofit company that sells and manages these domain names for a $35 annual fee. The great part is that nobody else in the entire world can have this same name.

My ISP, Earthlink, "hosted" this new domain name (for an additional monthly fee). So now I have two places on the WEB where I can display a web site. The obvious advantages to a "dot com" (.com) site name are that it's easier for people to remember the website name and it's more "professional".

Remember the name, folks... www.ComputerGuyNY.com (and don't forget the NY at the end). And pass it in to your friends. They can learn a little bit more about computers each day as they visit.
