Apparatus and a method are disclosed for operating a data processing system that is coupled to a data communications network. The method includes a first step of storing a plurality of Bookmarks, individual ones of which refer to one of a plurality of data communications network sites, wherein each of the plurality of data network communications network sites provides a similar type of information. A second step designates one of the plurality of Bookmarks as a currently active Bookmark based on at least one criterion. In one embodiment the step of designating is executed in response to a user selecting a Multiplexed Bookmark that comprises the plurality of Bookmarks, while in another embodiment the step of designating is executed periodically. The at least one criterion can be, by example, a time of day, a location of the data processing system, or a bandwidth of a data communications link between the data processing system and the data communications network. In another aspect this invention teaches apparatus and a method for operating a World Wide Web (WWW) Server of a type that maintains WWW pages, at least some of which contain at least one Hyperlink. A first step receives a request for a particular Hyperlink, and a second step formats a response to the request for the particular Hyperlink in accordance with at least one criterion that is associated with a requestor of the Hyperlink. In this case the at least one criterion can be a time of day at a location of the requestor, a location of the requestor, or a bandwidth of a data communications link between the requestor and the data communications network. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The foregoing and other problems are overcome and the objects of the invention are realized by methods and apparatus in accordance with embodiments of this invention.
In one aspect this invention teaches apparatus and a method for operating a data processing system that is coupled to a data communications network.
The method includes a first step of storing a plurality of Bookmarks, individual ones of which refer to one of a plurality of data communications network sites, wherein each of the plurality of data network communications network sites provides a similar type of information.
A second step of the method designates one of the plurality of Bookmarks as a currently active Bookmark based on at least one criterion.
In one embodiment the step of designating is executed in response to a user selecting a multiplexed Bookmark that comprises the plurality of Bookmarks, while in another embodiment the step of designating is executed periodically during the operation of the data processing system.
In a presently preferred embodiment of this invention the individual ones of the data communications network sites are each comprised a World Wide Web Server.
The at least one criterion can be a time of day, a location of the data processing system, or a bandwidth of a data communications link between the data processing system and the data communications network.
The step of designating includes an initial step of operating an n-dimensional scheduler for specifying individual ones of the Bookmarks in association with the at least one criterion.
In another aspect this invention teaches apparatus and a method for operating a World Wide Web (WWW) Server of a type that maintains WWW pages, at least some of which contain at least one Hyperlink.
A first step of the method receives a request for a particular Hyperlink, and a second step formats a response to the request for the particular Hyperlink in accordance with at least one criterion that is associated with a requestor of the Hyperlink
