interesting experiment.

[Octavian Rasnita]

Hi, thank you for that email address. I didn't know that there is such a
thing.
But I will receive the list of items found, then I will have to go online to
view the first item found, and I will see that it is not the thing that I
need, and I will check the next and the next, and so on.

The problem is not that I don't have 2 phone lines.
I am not paying anything for the internet.
The problem is that in my country there is a single fixed line phone
service provider and their prices are very high.
For example, if I stay 3 hours dayly online for a month (this means 90
hours) I have to pay 43.5 dollars (US dollars).
43 USD is a little bit too expensive, even for a  sighted, so i don't
connect to internet in the day time but only in the night time.
This costs me  only 20 dollars monthly for the same amount of time online.

So that's why I don't stay online too much, not for other reasons.

Teddy,

Yes it does work offline actually or there is an offline mode.
Just send your query text in the body of a message to
google at capeclear.com and you'll get  your results back.
Regarding not beeing online all the time; do what I did and
get another phone line. Not all of us worldwide have cable
and especially not in Australia. Alternatively wait for v.92
that has the ability to put modem calls on hold and supports call waiting
and
phase 2 caller ID whilst you are online.
