This has nothing to do with Skype, but eBay now also owns the website I do music reviews for.

They're trying to own the internet, it seems like.

According to Google;
No definitions were found for romen.

Suggestions:

- Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
- Search the Web for documents that contain " romen"

Agh, eBay is becoming a Romen Empire! Google doesn't even know what it is yet!

Sorry, maybe I'm too much a geek... but when I called my PDA (at home) from my cell phone and asked it a/b the "Romens" it said it'd have to get back to me on that... it later sent me a text message stating that the correct spelling is "Romans" ... Then it all made since... hold on, ah, another text message... "now it all makes sense"...
