There are lots of search engines, so how do you choose? Maybe, you don't have to. Maybe, there's one that combines a lot of the others and gives you their best answers....
Maybe, it's called "Info.com"....
Curious? Have a look at this.
And here's what it found.
Neat, huh?

Just when I get feeling really smug about how skilled I am at doing all this stuff, along comes the Fickle Finger of Fate, and takes me down a peg or two...
Once again, I've learned that all is not always as it seems, and specifically, newer drivers don't always make your goodies work better. I downloaded a more recent driver for my almost new graphics card, an ASUS/ATI/AMD creation with its own 256 Mb memory, thinking newer is better. WRONG! After installing, when trying to scroll a page, everything moved in weird
up-and-down jerks instead of moving smoothly. Exit new driver, and back to old one. Problem now solved. So, newer is not always better.
I knew that, or should have, because I went through something very similar with the keyboard program. I'm using a Microsoft Digital Media Pro keyboard, and have discovered the hard way that it doesn't like their latest drivers either. It works best on the Intellitype 5.2 one.
Moving along here, have a look at this for an idea whose time has come - but only in the U.K. Wonder why not here...
Enjoy your day, everyone.

Why don't we have something like this around here? Why only in the U.K. ?
