..who didn't know you don't need to start a web address with www. any more?
My grandson (13) was highly amused when I did it.

No you're not!

But then your grandson is too young to remember when there were other applications running on the internet. Even before World-Wide Web. I bet he don't remember the Queen of Soul either!

We in Gransnet aren't young enough to know everything.

If it makes you feel better I didn't know know either and I thought I was reasonably tech savvy.

I can’t remember the last time I used it.
How did he get to know you were still using it 😊

I've not used www for years.

I don't think I've used www. since about 1990. Just recently I had to educate my husband on this matter. He is a proper technophobe, and bought his first smartphone a couple of months ago.

Haven't used it since the 90s, younger people will never know that it was used.

Hetty your mention of ms.dos has brought me out in a cold sweat. What a nightmare introduction to "new technology" confused
