  Sombu, (just curious what you really mean by this name, hope you are not mentioning the utensil sombu!!)
  
  The Thamilzh araichi nilayangal(like Thamilz universities) are the good resources. They have works to find new Thamilz words equivalents for evolving net Tech words like 'Internet'(which is a short form for Inter Networking).
  
  As far as my knowledge, these are the words that are used in Thamilz circles:
  
  Web,Internet - Inaiya valai, Valai thalam
  
  Don't know what exact word for 'surfing', 'Valai Nugardhal' could be a possible candidate

  Surfing - Alai PAydal??
  
  Let Sombu tell us what is 'surfing' in his mother tongue - Samskrut.

  You are sick man. I hope your children haven't inherited their father's one track mind.Don't try to read my mind. You don't know even what is in yours.
  Obviously your tamil expertise hasn't come up with a word for web or surfing. To hide your illiteracy and expertise in Tamil, you have to bring cast etc.
  Get a life. Your postings have become stale and boring. You are making yourself a pest and a nuisance. You are history man.
  If you are that smart and know it all in Tamil, teach others instead of criticising and making cast an issue. People like you have ruined one country and now you are trying to ruin another.
  What have you done in your life that you can be proud of? NOTHING.
  Next time when you look in the mirror, take pity on yourself and try to improve.

  Shut up idiot. You are a sore loser who doesn't have any idea of what I was refering to. Just mind your business. Madurai Veeraragha Iyengar doesn't need suuport from you. He is already in deep you know what wityh worries about his job.

  Sombu,
  
  I really am not in a mood to insult you back or create a flame war, To elicit an emotional reaction even a negative the other person should have some value in ones mind. In my mind you are nothing but bored misinformed old man with plenty of time on hand who has no effect on things that I care about. You will go to your grave with your misconceptions and ignorance. So good bye.

  Can anyone help me direct me to a site which has a Tamil font called webtamil. I have lots of pages word processed with this font, but unfortunately lost the whole system, except the file, which I managed to save in a disk. I need the font to call up the pages. Inthamm.com seems to have similar webtamil font, but is only for viewing pages in the site. I need one for word processing. Please contact me at kanna19ka@hotmail.com. Thanks.

  Mr. Adaikkalam,
  
  What software did you use to compose those documents?
  
  The WebTamil font at Inthamm.com seems to be a ttf file (true type font). You should be able to use True Type fonts in Microsoft Word and other applications in MS Windows.
  
  Did you try the following link?
