I do actually believe that sometimes RTFM is a valid response. But it would be really cool if you included a decent query string in the link to google. Very often novice users know what they need, but not what to search for. A great example appeared in the thread: "Anti-virus Software" where a user wanted information on "clamav", but were searching for clamscan". In that situation "http://www.google.com/search?q=clamav" would have been a good response. I do realize that in this wav -> mp3 case the google query would be quite simple. rowan Matt Alexander wrote: >On Sun, 27 Jun 2004, Michael Havens wrote: > > > >>What could I use to convert a wav file to mp3?
