another slightly off-topic question

[Annie Grieshop]

Oh, that's a great suggestion, Dean!  I've used Google maps to create maps
for websites, but I didn't know about adding my own advertising flag -- way
cool.

What's even funnier is that a search for "piano tuner iowa" shows me already
on the Google map.  Huh, how 'bout that.  Now I'll just have to move the
flag to my new location (once everything else is toted over there <g>).
Thanks!
