If you mean effiiency on your part, in typing etc., i ALWAYS enter addresses that are prepended with "www." and appened with ".com" as the body followed by ctrl+enter. You should try this. so, in the address bar, you would type wired then hit ctrl+enter and then www.wired.com appears in the address bar. All that I can figure w/o more research is that this combination of key works in win 2000 and up, mozilla, and IE, and only with www.___.com addys. I may play w/ it some more to give you more info if you want it. Let me know if you already do this regularly so that I may attack myself appropriately.</p> in the line of effiiency.
