Well, who'da thunk.  I contacted google about this error and they actually responded...and within 24 hours to boot!:

Cool. Smile You must be special to get contacted by members of the google team Smile

Seriously though, this definitely seemed to be an odd issue, especially when I could get different results at the same time from two machines running with almost identical configurations.

And just think, we can all point to you know and say that you helped make google better and into what it is today Smile

lol, yeah, I was shocked to get the response at all.

Only one other time did a big company contact me about a bug report, and believe it or not it was Microsoft.  They actually called me on the phone about a glitch I pointed out to them in Streets & Trips.  I had shown them a screen shot of a problem that they were not able to replicate, so I walked some dude through it.

Seemed he was eager to solve it, but now, 3 versions later, they've still not solved the issue...  Confused

Being that I used to find people for a living, and that I love genealogy, I sometimes help folk when they have questions like that.

I was trying to help this person:
