EASY ADDRESS (URL) COPYING
(don't be afraid of the
mouse)

. .. . . In High School, when I built my first computer (1961), we didn't have a mouse. . . we didn't even have a keyboard or a monitor! We just had switches to "toggle" each bit, in the byte, then move the byte to memory and toggle the next. It was slow, but after all, I only had EIGHT bytes of memory and it was inside a shoe box. . . . .. . . . . A friend built one, too. When connected together, we had all of 15 bytes of memory! In science class we answered all the questions except one. . . "Yeah, it's a computer. . . but what's it good for?" .. Time answered that question!
. . . . . Now to the easy way to copy an address . . . USE YOUR MOUSE ! ! ! . . . Ever received an address from a friend in email; copied it down; keyed it into your location window, only to find . . . IT DIDN'T WORK!
