Word of Warning: Google Typo = Bad

[Clark Gilbert]

My brother just showed me this and I thought I would share it. Looks like you may want to be careful typing "google.com" into your address bar for awhile.

I'm not posting this information to see if anyone will type gookle.com, I haven't and don't plan too. Also, don't blame me if you try it.

This is why you make Google your home page. You never have to type the address.

Hear hear...I have yet to understand why anyone would spend the time to do something like this...it's just so ungracious and unprofessional. (Had to use the FIRST term for it )

Open them in Frames! Or have them set to homepages in different browsers.

Yes, Firefox has this nifty feature, where, if you have multiple tabs open, then go to options, and set your homepage as "current page," then whenever you start up, it opens up all those tabs.

Hmm...I didn't know that - I use IE6.0.

I meant more of like make an HTML file with a frameset in it pointing to google and chief delphi...but I suppose your way works better.

The thing is, is this whole thing legitiment? Not that I really care, I type "go" then press down when I have to go to google...

Considering this was posted 4 days ago, the problem has probably been taken care of.
