Yes, Google has gone a little crazy with so many announcments. While their web service of shared spreadsheet editing may not be a world changer, my instinct says it will become very popular. This morning I awoke to find Google has launched a bookmark synchronization service. And like a lemming, I signed up. Whew! I feel MUCH better, now that I know Mike has a sense of humor.

Picasa does not compete with Elements on editing photos. Picasa can do some very basic adjustments to photos, but nothing close to the range and power of what Elements can do. The Gimp on the other hand is a completely free (and open-source) application that can do all of what Elements can do and significantly more. Sorry to nitpick, but I felt it required some clarification. Hi Ron,
