i know this isnt political or a current event..but i cant figure out where to put it and i really want to know and there is a good amount of traffic in here... anyway... you know how sometimes when you type in boxes on your computer some of the information pops up in a little box because you have typed it before and you can just click on it and it pops in the box automatically... well how do you delete those "pre-entries" ? it does it when i go to google as well...there must be a list of 100's of things...everything i have ever typed in the google search box... i find it really annoying and cant figure out what it is called or where it is stored on my computer or how to get rid of it..i have tried highlighting the items and pressing the delete button, it doesnt work, anyone know anything about this?

    he had a voice that was strong and loud and
    i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
    eager to identify with
    someone above the crowd
    someone who seemed to feel the same
    someone prepared to lead the way
