  [On the Web]

I've found that a very reliable method of obtaining quick information on the web is to use the word "wiki" in conjunction with Google. For instance, instead of googling "pc/104" the traditional way, punch in "wiki pc/104".

For nearly every case, the first item that Google returns is the Wikipedia entry to the searched item. This actually seems to be faster than going to the Wikipedia page itself and using their own search engine. Part of the reason is because Google loads faster as a first page. Secondly, Wiki's internal search engine will usually obtain ambiguous results (not that this is a bad thing).

There were two comments here a while back (before I accidentally wiped them out). One was Myron's, and the other was from a guest - sorry guys!
