Birthdays are a celebration of the begining of Life, so without further ado, lets celebrate the most Magical Tool ever to be brought to LIFE - Google!! There is a little confusion on the REAL date of birth, but from the horses mouth comes these words: "Google is now officially an adult. The internet giant is celebrating its 18th birthday on Tuesday with an animated Doodle shown to web browsers around the world. The company, founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin in 1998, traditionally marks its birthday on the Google homepage on September 27." Happy Birthday Google! In honour of your birthday I dedicate my own creation of a Doodle - I hope MyLot will approve!

Hi Lany :) That's a fantastic doodle!! Apologies for my silence, I dropped and smashed my phone and it's been a very busy weekend. We lost the golf match

Hope you are well and I* and M* as well. Love to you all :)

18 years is a surprising figure because I would definitely have estimated longer.

@Inlemay That is a little earlier than I thought. Surely DOS had not been around for so long prior to Windows?

@Inlemay I have copies of DOS and a copy of Windows 3.11 for Workgroups on the original floppy disks. I beverage used Windows 95 and jumped to Windows 98.
