    12. Your answer:
    TrueFalse

  12. Do you ever wish that you could just 'clip' parts of Internet pages - pictures, text, anything - and keep them all together to look at later? Well, Google thinks that's a great idea too, so they invented the personal "Google Notebook". Sign up (free), log in, create a free notebook by downloading the software, and start clipping anything and everything from the World Wide Web. By the way, make sure you also download the "browser extension" for your Internet browser so you can copy cool stuff! Go to http://www.google.com/notebook to get started.

    13. Your answer:
    TrueFalse
