Folks,

Sorry to raise this here, but I wasn't sure where else to turn...I'm on
a business trip in the Netherlands, and am running my laptop from a
hotel with broadband. But the only version of Google I can get (and I
use it heavily) is in Dutch, which, sad to say, is not my main language.
Is there any way I can get the English version? Whenever I try for
Google.com, it automatically shifts me to Google.nl. I've been using
Yahoo's search engine, which doesn't default to Dutch here. But it would
be nice to get the English version of Google back again, if possible...

With best regards,

Pete
