ARRLWeb: Surfin': Gobble, Gobble, Google

ARRLWeb: Surfin': Gobble, Gobble, Google: "“E-mail arrives in my inbox every week from hams who are clueless about something and are seeking my assistance. Nine out of 10 times, I am clueless, too. I don’t know the answer, but I do know where I likely can find the answer. “For example, just the other day, a fellow ham wrote to me asking if I knew where he could obtain a copy of the beta 4 version 1.20 of MSYS, which is a multi-user packet radio bulletin board system (PBBS) program. I had no idea, but I wanted to help the fellow, so I switched to my Web browser and surfed to Google, my current favorite search engine. I entered “msys” in the search field, pressed the ‘Search Google’ button and the search engine came back with the results of its hunt.”"
