HELP: Using databases

[Eileen Culkin <eculkin@INTER-LAKES.K12.NH.US>]

Good Morning.....  I was just asked by a teacher :-) to give a short =
explanation (Thurs.) to his computer students about how and why to use =
databases as opposed to an internet search (specifically to find info. =
on salaries, housing, life style, etc. in other parts of the country).  =
I'd be OK with this but he is also being observed by the supt. as it is =
his tenure year.  I wondered if anyone had something with a little punch =
and humor (and wisdom) to help us make a splash.  Any ideas?  TIA, =
again.........EC
