Hi again - I've been gradually converted over to using the Web2.0 facilities on Google - i.e. Gmail, Calendar, Docs & Spreadsheets, Maps, WebHistory etc and really now find them invaluable, in particular Googlemail aka Gmail. What I really like about Gmail is that spam filter - it really ships out all that crap that gets sent to me, a considerable amount - I cleared 200+ spam email from my ISP account which were received in only a couple of days. In fact I think I'll drop the ISP email addresses and only use the Gmail email in the future.
Google Calendar is also really useful for me, I can schedule appointments, to dos' etc and the calendar reminds me by email & popup onscreen. Docs & Spreadsheets I don't use too much, but all of the blog files are stored there ready for posting when I have the time.
Using Google Maps I recently calculated a 90-mile round trip for a tech. support job, and so decided to charge mileage and time instead of time alone as I would have done previously. WebHistory isn't (to me) all that useful as I have installed the Google Desktop, so any item I need to find is available. However it is good to run through the WebHistory occassionally to look again at research on stuff which I was intending to do. [The best laid plans of mice & men......]
So, after some consideration, I have this year become an entrenched user of Google and reckon that the web applications are "Best on the Web"
