The rule is generally given as something like "except for articles,
modifies, and prepositions *of three letters or less*".

Eg, searching Amazon for books with "this" in the title, we see:

      * Out of This World
      * Gifts from a Course in Miracles: Accept This Gift, a Gift of
        Peace, a Gift of Healing
      * Kundalini and the Chakras: A Practical Manual-Evolution in This
        Lifetime
      * Becoming Native to This Place
      * etc

In other words, Amazon thinks I'm having karmic difficulties.

So anyway, "On This Computer", but "On the Web".
