All,
You all are due an apology. As you all know I believe in the power of a naïve question. And, you know, that friendly people in general and friendly crowds, in particular, can be particularly useful at the beginning of thinking about a problem, when the big mistakes are made. And, you all know, that I just like talking to people. So, given all of this, it is especially important that I be able to demarcate naïve questions from those that are just plain STUPID. And my question about Googlezon was mostly stupid. As a discipline, I have tried to make it my practice to Google any question I am inclined to ask this list, before I ask it of the list, no matter how silly it is. Even if the question is, Did anybody see my hat on the table at Friam last week? I Google it, BEFORE I ask you. And so, I did indeed Google Googlezon. But, somehow, the settings on my Google had gotten set to Desktop Search! Which explains why I have gotten so little of value out of Google in the last few days. Ugh! Stupid. One of you kindly pointed out that a proper search of Googlezon brings up reams of stuff. None of I is the orginal film, so far, and none of it is as good as I remember the original film, but I am sure it is in there somewhere, and now I can hunt it down. So that question wasnt a Naïve Question; it was just a stupid one, and I apologize for it.

Vaaaary funny. Its some sort of a video or perhaps only a link? If somebody doesnt remember its name or have a better filing system than mine, I think it is lost in the bit-midden.

I know its on my hard drive but I cannot imagine how to search for it. Might be time to dust it off and wonder how close it came to being true. And, of course, we aint done yet.
