   Is accurate geo-location critical?  I find it amusing, and     
   somewhat satisfying when an IP Lookup points my connection out     
   of province, or miles and miles away which is probably based on     
   the location of the server. But sometimes the latter seems to     
   change even though I might have a fixed IP.
