What is a Browser?
A software web browser program must be used to
view web resources, including text, graphics,
photos, and other media. Two examples of common
web browsers are Microsoft's Internet Explorer
and Netscape's Navigator. Both of these browsers
are free and can be downloaded and installed on
your computer.

What is an URL?
Addresses for web locations are called URLs. When
you're connected to the Internet, the URL tells
your computer where to go to access a particular
resource. URLs are similar to e-mail addresses in
that they both specify locations. A URL can give
you a lot of information, such as the name of
the machine where the resource is located, the
directory structure, and maybe even the name of
the file itself.
