Or Roseanne's rendition of the national anthem where she turned it into the Star "Mangled" Banner. On the bright side, Microsoft did finally come through with the third service pack for Windows 2000.

THE MISSING LINK
Web surfers ogle La Lopez
She's not a girl, not yet a woman and no longer the gal Jeeves gets asked about the most. The servile search engine reports that Jennifer Lopez, soul diva Alicia Keys and Colombian songbird Shakira are the ladies who most frequently turn up in its search box. Britney Spears didn't do it again (finish number one) this time. Oops! As far as the fellas go, English soccer star David Beckham, who also gets his kicks as the husband of Posh Spice, keeps Jeeves the busiest, followed by singer Robbie Williams and Prince William.
