Having been a skier for the past fifteen years, I decided that I would try something a little different by donning a snowboard this past weekend. The experience was less than rewarding as I am now sporting a pair of crutches to support a badly sprained ankle. When I hobbled into the office on Monday, I thought I would first search the web with AltaVista for information on nursing a sprained ankle to health. To my surprise and before I had a chance to enter a single word, AltaVista suggested the following as a search example:
+skiing -snowboarding
I'm thinking that this information would have been much more helpful before I went to the ski hill.
