Actually, I'm curious.  Can someone please explain why some sites won't 
work *unless* you provide the redundant and stupid 'www.' portion?

For example (in FireFox):

http://jaycar.co.nz             Does not work

http://www.jaycar.co.nz         Does work

There are other sites like that, and this is just one example to illustrate 
my point.
