My goodness!!

what a thread, just to come to the conclusion not to contribute!  dude,
seriously, you should contribute, since it is clear to me that you have way
to much time.

anyway, I don't care about my google-privacy, since I know they are
trustworthy and I agree with Jos that they are doing a great effort to be
not-evil.
And it is a great way to share documents online for people (like me) who are
not so know with working with online sharing and server related stuf.

@Jos Poortvliet: if still necessary I always wanna help you out.  I'll have
a look at it later today

(and Yes I have way to much time, so I am allowed to nag about issues of
which it is clear that there is nothing to nag about  -let's call it
excessive/superfluous nagging - oh and I can go on forever like this...
spamming the kde-promo list)

&gt; Who cares about Amarok? I&#39;m pretty sure that the next proprietary Google 
&gt; Webservice providing Music is just around the corner. And for sure it will \
be &gt; &quot;far superior&quot; for listening to music -- Thinking about it I \

</div>That&#39;s unfair. Besides, Mark is right - Google docs is really far 
superior to wiki&#39;s. And I&#39;m a big fan of wiki&#39;s so that&#39;s saying

I&#39;m inconsistend, I gladly kicked flashplayer of my pc in favor of 
Gnash, even though it is crashy. 
 
But google has never done anything wrong to me. They made my email 
experience 1.000.000 times better, so I abandoned KMail. Then they 
gave proper IMAP access and now I use KMail at home and GMail at work. 
I trusted them with my emails, they did not disappoint. 
 
And frankly, they yet have to disappoint me anywhere. I know how hard 
it is for a company their size to be non-evil, and they&#39;re doing a 
great job at it. Not perfect, but actually better than I held possible 
for a multi-billion dollar corporation. I respect that, and I think it 
deserves it.
