I use rctn. If I cannot find anything, I ask here, and it is all the tea in China to a bad egg that someone knows the answer.

There are a couple of very nice ones in Neiman's. Of course the price might be a bit more then what you're willing to spend, but here's one of them :

If it's this one, you're not likely to be a happy camper:

There's actually another one with a black bottom and a white strapless top that's the same price.

weird and irritating!!Carolyn ;-)

Unfortunately, these won't work for competitive swimming - she wants it as her practice suit. . . Great ideas though!

I like metacrawler and dogpile for really odd ball stuff

Try Web Ferret

I use . It is a "super search engine" that searches several search engines at the same time so I don't have to waste my time (dial-up connection) hopping from one place to another. It has an "advanced search" that I use sometimes that can help if I'm not really sure of the best way to search. That was one of the more fun parts of working in the library. Helping someone find the information they wanted when they weren't sure how to go about it. It is like solving a puzzle. :-))) Good luck! Liz from Humbug
