N800 I end up online at a google search page.
Are you sure you typed that in the browser location bar, and not the google applet on the desktop?

I would also like to know if it would be possible to access my desktop that is on the network and operate it remotely like I can with a laptop.
You can do that by using rdesktop (windows) or vncviewer (linux).
Please search the forum on them.

Also am unable to figure out how to clear my brouser histery. Am sure I will have many more questions,
- close all browser windows
- start xterm
- type rm .mozilla/microb/history.txt

is it worth paying the 12 bucks each for the brand name ones or get the packs from ebay where I can get 10 or 15 for 15 bucks and cut them to fit.
Yes. You will thank yourself, as long as you know how to apply them. There have been quite a number of screenprotector discussions here. Boxwave and Brando seem to be the most popular here.
