I did a tiny bit of software engineering for my wife recently. She got 
into the habit of typing a URL into the search box of Google (her 
default page) and then clicking on the link to the real page when 
Google responded to it.

So... I whomped up a local PHP page with a single big field on it and a 
small link-farm and set that as default on all of her browsers. When 
she types or pastes a URL in and presses Enter, it has a quick squiz at 
the text and decides whether it's a URL or not, and if so redirects to 
the URL but if not passes it off to Google.

Syntax-highlighted PHP source:

    http://luighseach.fit2.bur.st/index.phps

She's delighted, 'coz however trivial the change, it exactly suits her 
modus operandi, and the big text makes what she's typing in easier to 
read. The lupins where snapped on Karnup Road, Mardella.

Cheers; Leon
