cant see the tree from the forest

makes more sense when I can see an example that
relevent to me (then I can pick it apart bit by bit)

localhost doesnt work for me(?)
replace exact same command with 192....  works
(localhost reconized by browser&ping)

now I play add a bit, subtract a bit, and see what
happens (getting something done while learning)

playing with torsmo (nice :)
