Re: text:graphic [3]

Oh, dear.  Here I go running you 'round the mulberry bush by not being clear.

When I said "here's a thought experiment' I meant 'think how great it would
be if we had something where it is as easy as in GuruNet to query - you
just poke what you are curious about.  And, unlike GuruNet, it could be
tuned to return pictures.

And no, if you are going to install the image library with a program or a
suite of programs, it is not a big deal whether you say c:\foo.bar or
file:///c:/foo.bar.

Anne, you mentioned search engines that let you ask for pictures.  Do you
have a favorite?
