I hate Google/I love Google


I just figured out that I have a love/hate relationship with google. Love: the access to nearly instant answers like "I wonder what kind of pythons are in Australia?" Hate: I have tried everything I can think of to uninstall Google Earth and the bastard just won't go. No, uninstall on the control panel doesn't work. So, I Googled it and there were over 7 million pages. You would not believe the trouble people have uninstalling this program. I finally gave up. I'm just going to shoot the computer one day soon and Google Earth will die with it.

  1. Before you shoot your computer, download Google Mars and install it just for kicks. You will love Google even more for making maps of Mars available; and hate Google more because Mars likely won't uninstall as well.

    Just wait until tomorrow please. Today is International Peace day and I wouldn't want you to escalate your conflict on a day like today. ;)

  2. I'll second Reba's motion: Mars! On your computer! What's not to love?

  3. Thanks for the advice. But, I won't download Mars until I can uninstall "Earth" (2 different copies, neither of which will uninstall). Reba and Matt, you both know this stuff. What can I do to get rid of them. I just want to reinstall it, but not without killing the old ones first.
