Google Maps

 


All I wanted was some information about Google Maps, or similar. 'Google
maps
for me' (http://tinyurl.com/4wf9xt ) I know they have been posted
about in this
form so clever me decided to do a search for them. Ha!!!
You think that'd be
easy!!!

In just the same way as we're restricted to 4 smilie's and posts like
"LOL" are
not allowed because they are to few characters, so the word
'map' is decreed too
short to be included in the search phrase. Oh,
goodey ... searching for 'Google
Maps' brings back every post
containing 'Google' .... fabulous .... great help
that is.

So just how are we supposed to search for posts about maps? Easy ....
use
Google. It works and I sort of found what I wanted but what a
stupid restriction
we have on our own search facility.

At last go to http://tinyurl.com/4wf9xt  and see ending of the story

Nothing. Unless you may be running Internet Exploder in Wine.  Oh, it
will resize your browser window to full-size if your options allow that
to happen.

And apparently nothing in Windows either, if JavaScript is disabled.
