There is a whole pile of information out there on the information
highway. In order to help you sort the whole mess out, there are
tools called Search Engines. They are very much like a T.V. Guide
for the internet. 

One of the most popular search engines is called YAHOO. To find
Yahoo on the net, all you have to do is type "yahoo" (without the
quotation marks) in the browser window (that's that blank
white line up there near the top of the screen that says
"location" next to it.) 

"How do I search for information using Yahoo?" you might ask. 
Good question. 
You can type the name of the thing that you are looking for,
say, "mythology," in the window it provides. 
Now that is going to give you a LOT of sites, maybe so many you
might get dizzy... Say you wanted to look up something specific
from mythology, like, the Minotaur. Try just typing minotaur in
the Yahoo search engine. 

What do you get? 
Well, at first, some sites about a rock band called "the
Minotaur", and then  a software company and then .... you sigh
in frustration and kick the computer. 

So how do you find sites about the Minotaur from Mythology? 
WELL, you need to tell the computer to look for them. Here's
how: 

type     +minotaur +mythology        in the Yahoo Search Engine. 

That will bring back only the sites which contain both references
to Minotaurs AND mythology.
