Yep.  You can tell Google where to start the list by sticking a "start" 
number in the URL.  For example:
http://www.google.com/search?q=computer&start=1000

Note that if you try browsing to that URL, it'll tell you about the 1000 
record limit.

I think that's very telling!  Most people don't even know about the 1000 
record limit in Google because they never page down that far.  If that's 
the case, what are the odds that they'll page down to the bottom of a 
9999 record subfile?
