wow lot of google Home pages out there....
Don't I feel the odd one out I use a modded Opera Speed Dial as my home page.
0 load time sense it's all local files, and access to more then I would want to spend time shacking a stick at.
Using simple URL shortcuts I can search from every search engine I want (Google, ebay, amazone, cuil, ask, gigablast, yippy, wikiapedia...etc)
42 thumbnail speed dial entries to all my most used Mail,hosting, web apps and BBS accounts + a couple web comics that don't use RSS feeds.
