Thanks
Welles I'm glad to have your opinion. I thought the search was "chrisp" too. I've been very happy with it.
JoeD -- WOW THANKS! I was looking for that Google
local yesterday! I knew it existed but couldn't find. I will use it mucho mucho. I saw the beta demo'ed on 60 Minutes where Leslie Stahl was standing on a street corner, feigned a headache and used a connected cell phone (or maybe it was a PDA) to find a drugstore near her in NY. She found one within 2 blocks of where she was standing. They have plans to make it a price shopper too.
While we are on the subject of G, have you checked out Labs?
