Yeah, like trying to get my aunt to understand the wonder of the internet... It just can't be done. "What does 'url' mean? Is it misspelled?" "What's a server?" "Did you get that email I forwarded to you from Bill Gates. It says I should be expecting a big check from Microsoft..."

And I had no idea that Uranus was so tiny! Hee-hee! (Couldn't resist!)
Where does your 10 foot pipe fit in? Uranus?
