2. How many uses of the word network can you quickly think of?

3. Please provide an example of a sentence using the word network.

4. Please provide an alternate sentence, using a different definition of the word network (you can look up alternate meanings at www.dictionary.com if need be).

5. What synonyms can you think of for the word network?

Don't y'all rush too quickly to answering these questions, now. :D

much obliged,
Rob
