Give this a try: Go to http://www.google.com put "Failure" in the search area and then press "I'm feeling lucky". ;-) BTW, try the following also, as everyone has Safari: Go to http://news.google.com/ and do a search like "bird flu", "Turkey", "europe", etc. then press the "Atom" link on the left side of the Google page. Bookmark the resulting page. Your bookmark should show a number next to it when news items get updated. Go to the bookmarked page and you have an updated news search without any effort. Cheers, Brian
