Yes, it must be. But if he is giving you a name, then _he_ is a newbie.
>Where should I point (insert favorite browser here) to get all the info?
Assuming you are enough of an expert to used NetScape or another WWW
browser, try some of my favorites:
http://www.electrobase.com/
http://www.lookupusa.com/lookupusa/ada/bussrch.htm
http://www.questlink.com/
http://www.thomasregister.com/ (you will need to "subscribe")
http://www.smtnet.com/dirhome.html
To find if the subject company has a web page of their own (many do) do a
web search for the company name at:
http://www.altavista.digital.com/ (the mightiest search engine on the web)
There are others, but this ought to give you a good start. If this won't
find them; they are just too obscure.
