As soon as I wrote about a Windows 95 Internet tweak last week, the Web site I mentioned changed its address. The published address was wrong, both in the newspaper and on the Web. One reader even accessed me of being inept. The problem is a simple one. I have no control over Web sites.
Addresses change all the time.
I can only hope that they don't change between the time I write about them and the time you read about them, but last week proved that such things could happen. Keep in mind that THAT address could change at any time, too. First, of course, make sure the site really has moved. If you can't get to a site but the address seems OK, it just may be too busy. Your browser waits a certain amount of time for a response from a site it's trying to log onto, and will report an error if there is no response.
