I like it when website designers use relative URLs. On WebTV, when a link is
highlighted, you press crtl + cmd to see the target address; however, you're
limited to the number of characters displayed in the little window, so the
final page/site location cannot be seen with a lengthy A-HREF. Also true
with other browsers...
