Dear VIP Students,
Oops! Didn't mean to leave you out of the loop. My replies were
going only to Flor's Vibistro Group and I didn't realise until now.
Here's what you missed:

Ha ha ha, colour me mortified. No less a personage than David Bailes
himself patiently explained to me on another list that if I hit
Ctrl+End after pressing Enter on the Result Details button, I would
find the Cached and Similar links at the bottom of the page.
Disbelieving, I tried it anyway only to discover it worked exactly as
advertised. My fig leaf defence is that JAWS says nothing about new
page content suddenly popping into existance when I press the button
and Google doesn't mention it anywhere in its so-called help docs,
afaik. Oh yeah, and a disreputable uncle dropped me on my head when I
was a baby.
[and later on... ]
Will this humiliation ever end? David Bailes casually mentioned that
I could always type
cache:www.example.com
into the search box to get to Google's latest version of the web page.
I knew about define:, link:, related:, site:, and even the
undocumented AROUND(N) proximity operator, but I didn't think there
was a cache: operator. I'm pretty sure I tried it before and was
rebuffed by an error message.
Well, it's working now. And there are plenty more operators besides. Go to
http://www.googleguide.com/advanced_operators.html
and jump down to the first table to read all about them. I'm off now
to find a quiet corner where I can curl up and die of shame.
John
