What word changes from a verb to a noun when you capitalise the first letter of the word?

(Google won't help you on this one)

258391 2004-08-05 06:12:00 Maybe Google will..?
Maybe Google is the answer?

258392 2004-08-05 06:37:00 Nice try but I believe to "google" something is slang and Google is a brand / company name - I don't think it is in the Oxford dictionary. Think real words.

Not only does the word I'm thinking of change from a verb to a noun but it also takes on a whole new meaning.

258394 2004-08-05 06:46:00 nope - see my previous answer plus in both cases is it still a noun
this is off topic - it's not a computer word

258395 2004-08-05 06:47:00 But how do you use windows as a verb? Laura (43)
258396 2004-08-05 07:04:00 a googol is 1 with a hundred zeros MrBeef (342)
258397 2004-08-05 07:11:00 Quite a few words fit the format, but the 'bot will squash them ;)
