    I just checked mine out...

    One hit is for a letter I wrote to an online sports column....

    A second hit is for a letter I wrote to the BBC that was posted online...

    And a third hit is for....Assembler Games? I guess some guy bought a system from me and used my real name in the forums. He also said that I was based in California which I'm not...but anyway...heh.

    Seems kind of random that my real name gets 3 hits, one of them being from a site that I check daily but have never used my real name on before.

    Nothing now, but there was a time when googling my name would result in you finding my full address and phone number courtesy of any number of online forums full of ServiceGames haters.... Thank God that's all over with.

    when I try to search my name I allways find some guy that plays floorball (which is pretty funny as I used to do that for some years too). I have to add lots of extra search terms to actually find myself :)

    Google images searches for your name is fun too - there were about 50 people with the same name as me and of all different colours, shapes and sizes (but thankfully all the same sex...) I compiled them into a desktop wallpaper once.

    Mine is the second one on that list

    Alan Brown :rolleyes:



    Perhaps we should be really sad and start something that is a bigger search than Pamela Anderson or something!

    Perhaps someone here can prgramme a auto search facility for ASSEMbler

    Now that would really get us on the map!!!
