Just "Google It!"

For many of us, Google is like a miracle.

Type in anything (really, anything!) and in roughly 1.7 seconds, you will have something like 209,681 links to click!

Google will serve you the most likely links first. No, there's no little guy sitting there figuring out what is likely to be the match for your input... it's all done using a mathematical algorithm. But, still, if FEELS like magic!

If you are ready to learn a few tips to make Google REALLY work for you, here are two links to articles for "power users." Don't fret- you don't need to use them all. Just find ONE that seems like it will be helpful and soon you will be finding the information or answers you are seeking even more quickly and precisely!
