Google being broken is not the reason you failed to understand the smiley.

Notice: never used any of those computers. Those. Not that I had never 
used any computer at all.

Sincere question: who cares? Well, other than you. You CLEARLY do.

Before you even started learning you knew it all. I am sure! LOL!

You sure do try to impress me. Hint: you are failing.

You must be so very, very proud of yourself for your $60 worth of 
purchases!

I merely point out examples. Keep in mind the one from above:

     -----
     I had never used any of those computers before!

You showing your failure to understand that is coming up soon!

More of your failed efforts to impress.

And there it is! Your failure to understand what you read!

You assumed this meant ANY computer. You failed to understand.

Funny, eh?

Another sign you failed to understand this:

     I had never used any of those computers before!

Too damned funny!
