Then try shortening the link, removing words one by one from the right end to get somewhere on the site. Once you've made some connection, look around for links that will get you what you want. Finally, if it's been changed completely, do a search on that subject through one of the Internet indexers listed in Table 2-1. You will almost always find related information that way, even if you don't find the original site, which may have gone out of existence. The client and server can also be separate programs running on the same machine.
Browsers are programs that people run to search out information on the Internet.
Browsers should not be confused with the servers to which they connect you. For example, NCSA Mosaic is a well-known WWW browser. Other WWW browsers include Lynx, Arena, Netscape, and many more. Gopher browsers include TurboGopher, WSGopher, HGopher, and Minuet. Browsers are only half of the Internet equation.
