Are you all referring to this: http://www.vnunet.com/vnunet/news/2150094/google-connects-desktop-search You keep saying version 4, but we are at 3. The above just places google in the low in file swaping realm. This scares me for security reasons. Thank You Randall M ===================== "You too can have your very own Computer!"
