in both Windows XP and now in Windows 7, you can be nearly anywhere on the net, you can select any word or phrase and little drop down box opens up and asks where you might like to go to search for info about your selection. Somehow on my old XP computer, one of the selections in the drop down enabled me to choose Google as my preferred place to go from the drop down. On my new computer Google ain't one of the choices, even though that is the home page for my browser.

do ya know how to get Google into the drop down box?

just like adjusting derailleurs, i just needed to pay attention, and acknowledge that even though Windows has a zillion times more functionality than 90% of humans need, some parts of it are actually intuitive.

i could not google it cause i did not know it was called an "accelerator."
