Dear Amy:Who owns the Internet, anyway? Sometimes the computers I link to don't work. So who do I call? -Lexi, Sarasota, FL
Dear Lexi:No one really owns the Internet. The Internet is made up of lots of smaller computer networks. Some of the networks are owned by schools, colleges and universities, and some are owned by corporations and organizations. Together they make up a worldwide network of thousands of server computers that can talk to each other. Sometimes these server computers are too busy to talk or just aren't working right. When this happens, you have to try again later or e-mail someone at the broken computer's location and ask for help.
Dear Nathan: What is that squiggly line ~ in some URLs? -Nathan, Wichita, KS
Dear Eric: For those who don't know, a URL, or Universal Resource Locator, is the address of a Web page. Every Web page has its own address, and you type the URL into a little window in your browser software, like Netscape or Explorer, to get to that page on the Internet. Most URLs look like a bunch of letters jumbled together. The problem is that URLs can't have any spaces between letters, so people use periods and funny characters, like the squiggly line ~ called a "tilde," in between the letters so that the URL makes sense to them. Everyone tries to keep the URLs short, but it doesn't always work out.
