WOW.

I didn't think it could be done. My favorite search engine has been beaten!

My browser is set to open with Alta Vista as the home page. That will change as soon as I finish writing this.

Google is a search engine in a plain brown wrapper. No advertisements. Nothing blinking and flashing at you begging for you to click on it. Just a search engine that works. How refreshing.

Google is very fast. I mean FAST. I have a really slow modem, too. You don't have to wait for all of the little bits and bytes and gifs and such to download before you can actually SEARCH for what you need NOW.

I guess I should be cautious, and I might revise this review, after I find out their dirty little secret: namely, who pays for this? I didn't see any advertisements at all.

Maybe its a plot by little green men?

Nah. I think its a dream come true.
