The web page has either been moved or deleted, or you entered the wrong URL (site name). Look at the url that you typed (or clicked on). If a word looks misspelled, then correct it and try it again. If that doesn't work backtrack by deleting information between each backslash (starting from the right side), until you come to a page on that site that isn't a 404. From there you may be able to find the page you're looking for. Example: here is a bad URL... BADWEBPAGE Click on it and when it says "NOT FOUND", start chopping text off of the right side of the URL (top middle of you screen where it says http://www....). Remember, chop from the RIGHT side up to the previous / mark and hit the ENTER key on your keyboard to tell it to go to the truncated URL (website). In this example you'll be chopping "/test".

Q. "When are you going to have the "Archives" available so that we can go back and see stuff that we missed on ComputerGuyNY Report?"

A. Soon. In the meantime, there is a secret link someplace on this page that will bring you to the archives that are under construction. See if you can find it. If you do find it, email me (telling me what you clicked on to get there) and I'll send you a special software prize. Good Luck!

The U.S. Department of Defense laid the foundation of the Internet roughly 30 years ago with a network called ARPANET. Limited to educational and scientific use, ARPANET was a very technical experiment.

The general public didn't use the Internet much until after the development of the World Wide Web in the early 1990s. Basicaly, the World Wide Web is a graphical document standard (based upon a computer language called HTML) that allows the sharing of millions and millions of documents (Web Pages) among all those who are connected to the network of computers known as the INTERNET (formerly known as ARPANET).

As recently as June 1993, there were only 130 Web sites. Now there are millions and millions of Web sites. It was the "easy to use" graphical nature of HTML documents that contributed greatly to the growth of the World Wide Web as we know it.

No one authority controls the World Wide Web. Today's Web site authoring tools allow virtually anyone who has access to a computer and the Internet to post a Web site and contribute to the definition of what this medium is and what it can do.

All of this in just the last few years... and you ain't seen nothing yet. What a great time in history to be alive!
