Yeah, but Google was the default front page.. and it's a google.com 
search bar on the browsers in all the hostels. etc. etc.

Mind you, the REALLY annoying one was when I worked for a company that

Microsoft.com... no matter how I tried, I couldn't get it to give me the 
page in anything but German...
