Use Ctrl+U in Firefox or Konqueror to see the source text. > A related point is how accurate is it to use the google advanced > search and specify `last 3 mnths' or the like? Zero. Several times I've tried using it, but still pages and posts from 2005, 2004 and older show up. It's useless. Benno -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
