No, I didn't see any difference between computers and pebbles, nor

On the other hand, searching for "computers pebbles 'John Jones'"
doesn't bring up anything at all (not even your current post, but
Google can be slow). Did you used to be someone else?

What do I have to do to get y'all to figure it out?
