And further to this discussion about Google, I have recently found that
downloading the Google Earth facility really stuffs my XP operating
programme, slows it right down and causes all sorts of weird effects.
Once I unload it my PC comes back to normal operation - so, I've stopped
going to it and have removed all links to it, nice though it was when
not causing these probs.

Has anyone noticed that Google Advanced Image Search seems to have gone
to pot.

I began a database of birds I had seen about 5 years ago, and for each
species I have an image or images, either photos, or if not available,
then scanned field guide images. I made my first assembly of photos then
and Google Advanced Image Search was very useful and I remember that it
seemed to be very accurate. If you typed in Lilac-breasted Roller or
whatever at least some of the first images actually were of that sp.
Today, however, I was searching for some images and the images I was
getting were almost completely random, with almost no real hits.
