Spider: "A computer program that prowls the internet looking for publicly accessible resources that can be added to a database; the database can then be searched with a search engine."

Some spiders that frequent our MB are those from Google and Yahoo, among others. These kinds of spiders are a good thing, as they increase our site's visibility on the Internet, over time.

If future generations are to remember us with gratitude rather than contempt, we must leave them more than the miracle of technology. We must leave them a glimpse of the world as it was in the beginning, not just after we got through with it.

Got it. Good thing.

I Googled "Whitney Zone" and "Mt. Whitney Zone" yesterday and saw that the site came up in the top 3 for both searches. "Mt. Whitney" still has a way to go though.

Hey Gary, Geeez, a "Spider". That's the thing that crawls on your face about midnight while you're still trying to get to sleep the night before your Whitney hike. Kind of the same thing as a "Mouse".
