Interesting Searches

These are interesting searches that find information about me...

• "Unofficial Memorex CRW-1622 Homepage" - I bought a CD burner very early on and created a website to detail how to burn CDs, use CDRWs, etc. (It wasn't easy back then). The page is gone, but the references to it are still there.
• "Chris Freyer" genealogy - I've been participating in genealogy research since 1990. Tons of references to me here.
• Google Groups search for my name. I was really talking about hardware in the late-90's. (My old email address was cfreyer@southeast.net).
