There are billions and billions of bytes on this information super highway. The trick is in knowing how to find things. Some times it's as easy as typing marthastewart in your netscape location and having it change to www.marthastewart.com right before your eyes. If what you are looking for doesn't have a domain name to itself then you need a search engine.

Search engines are the best way to find what you are looking for. Certain keywords are important and you need to experiment. If you are not sure then just click through the search engines listings to see if what you want is there. And don't forget to bookmark things.
