I keep a 1000 day history, so that I can go back and find things. I mean -
I don't necessarily want to have to decide what to bookmark and what not to
bookmark, in real time, as I'm browsing. I *do* want to be able to go back
and fairly quickly & easily search and find out where I've been, and find
things again. Computers are (or, should be!) great at that. Knowledge
augmentation, and all, you know?

Just FYI, I'm really happy to discover that the history *has* been fixed,
at least in the nightly I'm using, 3/27! It's a relatively easy (& quick! a
few seconds) matter to call it up (all 60,000+ entries, going back over two
years), *and* do a find/filter on a phrase (I think this is a new feature,
way cool!), and then sort by site name, URL, most recent visit, or first
visit. Very nice!!

Thanks very much to whomever worked on this. :-) Kickass!
