crich70, resorting to a link that has a 6 year-old date on it, hardly deals with a common thing in language... established usage and these days the established usage of internet by most people refers to the web and allied things such as email, usenet etc... it may not be precisely correct but then hoover isn't the only vacuum cleaner around but people know what you mean just like a lot of people think ereader = Kindle and other brands/words where estblished usage has developed to replace precise usage...
