I think Google can get away with problems like this because what we use as internet user is free. I'm sure if there were mass complaints about these issues they may be willing to fix them, but any small fix for a small user base may be met with the usual "pay me and I'll be happy to fix it for you." -- Alberto Treviño BYU Testing Center Brigham Young University -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
