Google, google & more google

Well i think Google is going to take over the world!! It is pretty good though - I use it all the time. I have had an igoogle page for some time now but don't use the Calender option yet although I should as it could be very useful at home. The translate app is interesting. not knowing any other languages fluently it would be hard to test it although I did try "Ma tante a tombe dans le jardin" and it translated it as "My aunt fell in the garden" which is pretty much correct. I do wonder though if some of the companies supplying gadgets made in China or Korea have used one of these translation apps to translate their manuals - the wording can sometimes be very funny. The Google Maps app is another one I haven't had time to explore yet...but i will be as I want to make a map with photos showing where we went on our trip around the UK. I also want to create one showing my favourite spots to vist in NZ. Will add the links when they're done.
