<My boss asked me what URL means, and I had to say I didn't know. Could
anyone tell me?>
If I'm not mistaken, there are two interpretations: "Universal Resource
Locator" and "Uniform Resource Locator". I don't think there is really any
difference; they both refer to World Wide Web addresses. For example, http://www.apple.com is the URL for Apple Computer's WWW page.
Does anyone know if there is a "correct" interpretation?
