    Yen:I teach a basic computer/internet class to Vietnamese parents, and I always have a hard time defining what a web browser is to them. This is a great definition that I should use. Thanks!
    Jennifer F:If someone wanted to add the definition for "plug-ins" and link the two pages, that would be a nice addition to this definition.
