    Remember, you need to buy *5* shares to get into the IPO. Would SCO's market cap (assuming you owned every share) even get you to that limit?

    I actually find the yahoo 100mb to be so splendidly enough for my needs that Gmail is of little consequence... which is probably a good thing for yahoo!

    But anyone wanting to throw one this way... *cough*

    The interesting fact is that competing engines such as Vivisimo, Teoma, AllTheWeb and of course Yahoo are basically as good as Google.

    Vivisimo in particular often works better than Google (for me, it may not for you). Many times I failed to find what I wanted because Google returned results (several pages) which are somewhat relevant, but not what a search for these multiple keywords should return. Vivisimo, on the other hand, usually had 100% relevant results near the top.
