   They're some pretty sharp cookies at askjeeves. I wouldn't count them out just yet. It would be interesting to see these search tools incorporated with their language recognition software they've developed. Being in the background is not bad for a company. I don't know if you could say the spotlight is good for anyone. Look at how far google has strayed from their core mission because of it. Yeah, keep a close eye on that butler. He might have a couple tricks up his sleeve.

   I wonder if Alta Vista plans to re-introduce their free desktop search tool, Discovery. I still have a copy of the old one.

   I was wondering when someone would mention this... amazing that google et al are harking their search tools as some sort of revolution, but alta vista were doing it years ago.
   
   Shame what happened to alta vista when google came along, really.
