Not so scary
Tonight in seminar, John noted that he had a problem. He needed the URLs generated by Yahoo search. However, if you try searching for something on Yahoo, say cheese and you mouse over the first result, “I love Cheese!” and look down to see the url of the hyperlink in the message bar, you will [...]
