Wow! I can believe you were tired at the end of all that, but “Z” always stands for Eric Von Zipper.
I tried Z and it came up with http://www.z-tel.com/portal/ztel/index.jsp, the first of 285,475,052 responses.
you’ve got 285M items in your URL history ??
I misunderstood the game. I do that a lot. I don’t even know what a URL history is. Never mind.
see the place where you type in web addresses? In Internet Explorer, it says “Address” to the left. if you type a letter in there, IE will start listing all the URLs you’ve visited that start with that letter. type another letter, and IE will show you all the URLs that start with those two letters, etc..
