That thread actually came to mind when searching for info before posting. The extravagant claim of outdoing google stuck with me.

There were some good links in that post which I will follow tommorrow. Thanks for the link.

It's as simple as that. A lot of people have ideas, but there are few who decide to do something about them now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. But today.
