Thanx...Yeah, I know the hell that is GOOGLE...
It's been getting worse for many years now...I never signed on it or use its features...For searching I find yandex much better...
Google gives you what THEY want you to see-have...
And YES, I know a number of people who fell into that 'link everything to your google account' BS...So when google shut 'em down then everything else was lost as well...
Too bad on the site though...alotta work went in thus far & all efforts vanished! Keep everything OFFLINE...
And forget all these 'clouds'....They always use clues in the name, what do clouds always do?...THEY GO AWAY!....
