   You bring up a great point. With so much information available now,   
   what we really need is some kind of search engine to help us locate   
   what we're looking for. Someone should create something like that.   
   They could give it a unique but made up name, like Google, and they   
   could place it at an obvious address like www.google.com. Oh wait,   
   someone already did that! Never mind.
