    It's just in the shopping searches......a standard google search will still provide results.

    Yeah - and I pretty much have no use for the "shopping" search functionality anyway. It always seems to try to steer me to Amazon.com.

    Well, it was useful when you could type in, for example, "Padron 2000" click on "shopping" sort by price, and you can get an idea the average online box price.

    Now you gotta do it manually. Oh the humanity!!!!

    The convenience of today is the very reason I waited so long to be born.

    3......you lucky so-and-so. We only had two and they shut off at 11 pm and didn't start up again until 7 or 8 am.

    Remember how they shut down? The image would reduce down to a little white dot in the middle of the screen which took a minute or two to go away? I remember being very little and trying to look into the white dot in the center of dad's 21" console B&W TV to see if you could still see the picture in that little white dot.
    It matters not how strait the gate,
    How charged with punishments the scroll.

    In Canada - did they end the day with a closeup video of the flag of Canada flying with a "O Canada" playing in the background - immediately followed by a test screen with the big indian head?


    If not - man did you miss the best show of the day!!!

    Oh man, I had so forgotten that test pattern!

    Thanks for reminding me.......you gave me the best chuckle I'm likely to have today!
