I'm just old enough, I think, to be mostly useless when it comes to technology. Perhaps I'm not learning fast enough?
Anyway, when my sister Lorna was here, I learned all about Facebook, DSL and how I need to learn to buy some kind of cord for my camera to get the photos off of it. I still haven't mastered this yet. Scary, isn't it?
But one of the best things she taught me was about the Web site called Blackle. Since Google is an all-white screen, it costs in KW energy. So the designers started a Google site with a black screen. It't the exact same search engine, just saves energy.
No, I am not working for Google :)
Check it out at www.blackle.com
They'll even tell you how much energy is saved...

I will try it... but first you need to request me as a friend on Facebook... or send me an e-mail.
And I like www.goodsearch.com, who donates a penny to your charity every time you do an internet search. I support the Alaska Zoo every time I look up an address or phone number or find a repair shop. You could support a school, your church, Habitat for Humanity, or any number of non-profits, too.
But, oh, how hard black-screens are to read. Big type OK, this-sized type arrgggh
