Thanks, Lu, I knew Google can do everything, but sometimes it makes you think how. I remember a job advertising from Google, which was a road poster that read like this thefirsttendigitsprimenumberindecimalexpansionofpi.com If you are smart enough you compute this number, say X, then go to X.com on the Internet, and they propose you to apply for a job with them. You file an application, and then they do some additional screening and testing:-) Alex.
