KRISTEN: Jane, I want to find the weather
forecast for tomorrow. What do I need to do?
JANE: First, you need to be connected to the
Internet.
KRISTEN: Right. So use the mouse to click on
this icon here on the desktop, right?
JANE: Yes, and then wait while the computer
dials up.
KRISTEN: Why is it taking so long?
JANE: Because our modem only works at 64k. If
you want a faster connection we'll have to
upgrade.
KRISTEN: OK. Now I've connected, what do I do
next?
JANE: Choose a search engine from your list
of favorites and type in some key words.
KRISTEN: How about "weather forecast
Chicago"?
JANE: That should do. Now click on 'search'.
KRISTEN: Right. Now I have a menu of
different sites.
JANE: Good. Click on the link that seems most
helpful.
KRISTEN: Oh, this one's good. It has a
satellite map. But looks like it's going to
rain.

| Find out IP addresses and shut down computers from your own |
 |
This is a tutorial that tells you how to find
out IP addresses from computers and servers
and stuff that made the site and is used to
edit it. It also explains how to shut down a
computer or server from your own windows
computer using an IP address. I have only
tried this on XP, but I have a feeling it
works on Vista. I don't know about any
earlier versions but, hey, who uses anything
earlier than XP anyway? If your school (if
you go to school) has a web site, you can
shut the computers down there, which is very
fun to do, especially when you're home sick
and people at school are using the computers.
If you also somehow find your friend's (or
boss's)IP address, you can also shut down
their computer, which is great for pranks. I
AM NOT LIABLE FOR ANYTHING YOU DO WITH
THIS!!!!
