Computer lesson
Okay, twice this week I've dealt with people who do this. They know the address of a website, but they don't know how to enter it into their browser. Instead, they go to Google EVERY TIME they want to go to a new site. They type the address into the Google search engine, and then sift through the results for the link they need.

I got a call from a guy who has posting priveleges on a website I administer. He had lost his bookmarks and needed to know the admin link. I gave it to him, and a few minutes later he called back, saying it didn't work. While speaking with him, I input the address and it came up fine. Sure enough, he was Googling the address, which got no results, so he was lost. And this guy isn't new to the internets.

So people: If you know the address you're going to, skip Google and just go directly there! It's much easier, and more direct.
