Stephen- Thanks for the update. It seems there are several variants of these Google screw ups going around! I'd give the daughter a break though. ;) Google is a big target and there are more and more people out there with the free time to take aim! On a similar vein, I used to have a coffee mug that read, "To screw things up requires a human. To screw things up millions of times per second requires a human with a computer!". I think the "axiom" applies in this case! (Someone swiped the mug- but just once so it probably wasn't a computer.) :( Tim _______________________________ Timothy O.

And it wasn't a virus or worm either (otherwise strange that it would have affected both my and my wife's computer simultaneously). It turns out to be....wait for it...human error. A single errant keystroke, would you believe. Wait 'till I give my Google-resident daughter an earful on this. Have they no decency, Sir?
