How do I ... ?

So you want to search the web, but you don't know how to, well I am here to help you out.  First things first you have to send your browser to a search engine like AltaVista.  you then have to type in the thing you wish the search.  Once you have typed it in the you have to make sure that you place speech marks at the beginning and end of the word.  Then click search and you will find that it has called up millions of pages that contain the word you typed in.  Click on the link and this will take you to that web page, if you wish to get back then all you have to do is to click on your back button this will take you back to the last page that you viewed.

Why doesn't ... ?

There are several reasons why the web page you require does not load.  One reason is that the server where that page is stored is down or it has been removed.  If you get a filtered page this means the page you want contains material that is not suitable for young children.
