Well, it's a nuance clearly beyond my abilities. I'm tearing up my diplomas,
right now! BAD girl! No pumpkin pie until I dumb down, I mean diagram, ten
sentences (which I will find through Amazon's "Search Inside the Book
Search," if I don't first use "Google Search")! By the way, Walt, how ARE
things going with "RedLightGreen Search"? 

Speaking of search engines, in a report dated 11/27/2005 (!), Pew reports
that since 2004, "use of search engines on a typical day has jumped from 30%
to 41% of the internet-using population." The report also notes that 9 out
of 10 dentists, I mean internet-users, use search engines. (But do choosy
mothers choose Google?)
