A search with Clusty using "Mac model smurf" has the first three hits the Mac G3. Point the search to "Mac" first then "model" then "smurf". At least it seems to work this way. I would imagine the same results would be returned but farther down the return list with a different order of the search terms. I don't use Google anymore or I would check using it. Please correct me as my assumptions are usually in error. :-[ Enjoy, ErnieG --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
