I am curious whether commercial portals such as Yahoo and Google can 
legally restrict client software (graphic or otherwise) from searching 
their sites and harvesting results.  One of my favorite search clients used 
to be Copernic, but it has gotten less useful in recent months as Google 
and other sites have been removed from the client.  -- Howard
