I use Gmail*, but lie on Facebook and for Google registration. I am called Reisz and live in a village. I was amused that when I searched for my nephew on Facebook, he was difficult to trace because he too had lied!! He too lives in a village. *I wouldn't with what I know now, but there are quite a lot of advantages, and the horse bolted long ago. Lisi

I don't think searching on debian+p1109w would impact googles or anyones live in anyway, but each individual decides for him/herself where the red line is. I personally think that in such cases google is a good alternative, but I would never have private or confidential mails or information shared with them. But in this case I do not see anything of private nature ... well they might tag you of owning hp printer ... so what ... even if you get advertisements ... it doesn't really matter. You get and give. If you don't give you don't get. regards
