More stories from Customer Support Staff Some people pay for their online services with checks made payable to "The Internet." Had a guy call just recently, asking how to get to the Internet through a word processor. I got a call from an administrative assistant in our office. She said when she opened Netscape it was smaller than normal, so she could not see the entire Internet. |
