You and me both. My .mac homepage address has no www - but people automatically ask if I've missed it off when I tell them it.
I suppose if the web were more forgiving then it wouldn't matter if you typed www or not. Like getting the post code wrong or missing it off - takes a little longer to get there but it does.
But it's an irrelevance - time we moved away from it I think as a hangup from the old days when people who used the web used all sorts of protocols in their work (ftp being the only one I can think of that I still use, but rarely in my browser).
It does seem (anecdotally) that people who have trouble with URLs stumble at www.
Pipe dreams... don't you love them?

If I had a dollar for everytime that I had given some a www-less URL verbally and they've just entered www. blah out of habit, I'd be a millionaire!
