well, there isnt xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx address out there... the current IP
addressing scheme is only 32 bits..  256.256.256.256   so if you notice, you
wont find an address  276.234.500.4   wont happen....


and i agree with you on the internaut bit....  i just wanna go and look
around at everything on the internet....   i'm not much for breaking into
sites so i guess i'm nowhere near hacker status...   speaking of hackers,
have any of you taken the Hackers Test...  its not really about hacking as
we know it, just about obscure knowledge of computerdom... if anyone wants
it, leave me yer e-mail address, i'll mail it too ya...
