    Gemini comes through again. I don't know why I even bother with web searches anymore.

    I’ve moved off of google searches almost completely. The exceptions are things that are faster there. Example, a quick F to C conversion - google comes back instantly, AI thinks a bit.

    That said, these days the first thing Google shows you is what Gemini thinks about your search request, which is often helpful.

      True, though with something as simple as F to C it skips doing that.

          You folk have encouraged me to pick up my guitar again, but my fingers bend like a piano player if you know what I mean. But I'm determined to learn. Maybe a bit of this

              jon you tease. Is that ten strings 🤪 my fingers and brain have enough to cope with four 😄

              Promised myself to learn when retired so no excuse, and even prepared by aquiring a few nice instruments. Here's the nicest being played by an American professional on his cd,
              unBEATabLE Songs. Oh to play and compose arrangements like David:
