Help us improve" In other words they have become too fat and happy. In the long term, Google is susceptible to competition by other engines willing to continually improve their software dalehileman Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: interesting header #153156 01/04/06 03:34 PM Joined: Jun 2002 Posts: 7,210 Vermont Buffalo Shrdlu Carpal Tunnel Buffalo Shrdlu Carpal Tunnel Joined: Jun 2002 Posts: 7,210 Vermont I prefer www.alltheweb.com anyway. but their logos aren't as interesting... formerly known as etaoin...

I've got google up on that bar thingy (pardon the technospeak) where you put frequently used sites so I rarely see the start page itself.

Actually I found this on http://libbraille.org/translator.php and typed in google and then Google. The second one turned up with a dot. The pattern placement for that indicator is: oo oo ox oo where x is the palpable dot. The indicator that the next character is a numeral is ox ox xx oo Last edited by TEd Remington; 01/04/06 07:44 PM.
