Why the Professor LOVES Google Maps but HATES Google Docs


I love Google Maps.

I've been using it for years. It was a nifty tool that helped me get about in life.
Then I got an iPhone and Google Maps became essential. As a cyclist, I loved having Google Maps at my fingertips and as a result, there is barely a day that goes by when I don't use it.

Long live Google Maps!
I hate Google Docs.
I just used it for the first time today and I got all excited about it's networking possibilities. And I thought, I've got the perfect real-world project to use it for. Then I tried to upload my life. You know what - it didn't upload. The reason. It's TOO big. Why are the file sise limitations so bloody scungy? Any real project is going to be a lot bigger than 500KB.
So I went back to dreary old not real-world uploading. Ho hum.
Death to Google Docs.
Prof M.
