When I type in "Iowa City Airport" at the Yahoo search screen, our "History of the Iowa City Airport" webpage pops up second on the list -- which is all well and fine. Google rules. Google is God. All else is a pale imitation of Google. Google works this way: the more sites link to yours, the higher your rating is. The higher a site's rating is, the more credit you get for its being linked to you. This works far better than even the guy who dreamed it up could have hoped or expected or dreamed. It works wonderfully well. It is Adam Smith's Invisible Hand turned loose on information. If you don't have a Google tool-bar installed on your browser, your life is slower, more complicated, and less rewarding than it might otherwise be. Besides, Google has the simplest, most elegant home page on the web. It consists of 38 words. Go look: www.google.com all the best -- Dan Ford email: (put CUB in subject line) see the Warbird's Forum at www.warbirdforum.com and the Piper Cub Forum at www.pipercubforum.com

It consists of 38 words. Go look: www.google.com True, but I like having Yahoo as my home page, because of their up-to-the-minute news coverage. A throw-back to my newspaper days, I guess. I knew I'd have to add newspapers to our order when I saw a big story hit in Yahoo! -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

My system suppresses them, so I don't know if it has them or not. I was pretty sure that Yahoo was awash in them, or is that not correct???
