It is entirely a different matter to find your way back to useful resources on the web. Before the arrival of web browsers, finding one’s way back to a file on a distant computer connected to the internet usually involved memorizing or recording a long, esoteric path name. Moving a file from a distant computer to your computer involved a complicated FTP (file transfer protocol) process that drove many early internet users to distraction. The web browser changed all of that. The Bookmark/ Favorites List found on all current web browsers makes it possible to easily "bookmark" a location on the web for future reference. Click on the bookmark/favorite is all that is required to return to the exact location of the desired webpage. Navigation on the web couldn’t be any easier. However, if you are like most web users, your bookmarks can quickly become an unmanageable list that scrolls on forever, making it nearly as difficult to find your way back to that wonderful webpage as it was to find in the first place. Fortunately the Netscape Navigator, Internet Explorer and AOL Web Browser all have editing features that make managing your web resources a relatively simple matter. continue
