http:// is now optional

Unlike in the early days, you don't have to type http:// in front of a web site address anymore. In some cases, you don't even have to type the www. either.

For example, to go to http://www.ChamisPlac.com/, you can just type www.ChamisPlace.com (or ChamisPlace.com) as the address. Most browsers will assume that you typed a WWW address.
