Have fun trying to find the answers to these questions. Some answers may be found at more than one Web site. Use one or more of these search programs, Yahoo or Google on the World Wide Web. You are a Cybernaut if you can answer 11-12, an Internet Navigator with 8-10, a Hitchhiker with 5-7, or a Newbie with less than 5.
