joko Thanks for your answer but I've only just come back to it.
I thought this thread was finished but I hadn't realised you were telepathic.
//you clearly thought that google could work independently of a browser -
//you did not realise that the icon on your desktop is just a shortcut -//
I suggest you read what I wrote . ##The icon is a short cut , that's its purpose. # Ah but you don't need to read it with your telepathic powers.
However I do agree the OP was ambiguous, I've already said that ,
especially the words # so what is the point of browsers#. That sent several ABers off on the wrong track.
I liked your final comment.
//there's nothing wrong with that - we are not all computer savvy and we can't just 'know' things, we have to learn them - and some things are confusing - and that's what this site is for. //
Unfortunately many of the answers didn't live up to the spirit of it. Silly, trying to be clever, sarcastic remarks, never answers a question.
On the good side it did broaden the thread and the OP was finally answered
Many thanks !
PS. I do agree my computer savviness is rather dated . I use to program and build robots but that was 15 years ago. My work on graphics since then has also been limited to company presentations and wed page design
but that was also several years back.
