Thanks Stan.

I've bookmarked it now, so I won't lose it again (until I re-install
Win95 for the new 32bit File system, that is).
I have noticed a trend on the web where sites are starting to allow the
www to be dropped - I think this is a good thing, since the www has
become somewhat superfluous, not to mention difficult to say at dinner
or in pubs.
So for instance, we allow our clients to be addressed as either
http://www.bankmed.co.za, or just http://bankmed.co.za
Initially, it's probably important (and courteous) to keep both going.

Regards

Neil Harvey
