Gmail!!

So the almighty google created new look for gmail and gave us option to try it out. I gave it honest two month but it is not very user friendly and I was happy to switch back to the original.

Guess what, today they switched to the new look and there is no way back.

Sounds like you used a beta format...and Google decided they made it permanent.

It appears that Google is falling into the Microsoftism chasm. Corporations like government suffer from bloat and bureaucratism and their quality of service and mission suffer from this bloating effect. I still use MS and a lot of their products, but when this PC dies it will be my last one. I will make the painful move to something else. That is a bigger deal now than it would have been 10 years ago. My comfort zone for learning new things, particularly cyber related things has shrunk disproportionately with my advancing age!

So true. Maybe I'm just getting old & crusty, too. I'm afraid that in a few years I'll be that old at the town meeting guy who always stands up an shouts "I'm agin it!".

Prokop - I use Gmail and noticed the change - all I did was change the color scheme but I have not noticed much of a difference except maybe how you move or label things...what am I missing ..? What have you seen that I might not have yet that is a problem...or not user friendly...Thanks

I'm guessing gmail is a google product?? I didn't know that; never used gmail myself, but got relatives and friends who use it. They haven't said anything about a change.

Another thing is that I used google almost exclusively for searches for a few years, but they changed up their maps and now I use Bing much more than google.

Bird, Since you brought up Google maps...I have a question...Do you not get concerned that the areal view offered by Google maps along with the street view makes it awful easy for criminals and terrorists to case their targets....that troubles me...What do you think ?

You may very well be right, Bob, but I've just not been concerned about it.

I've been cursing google's gmail for a while because I could'nt find an UNDO button. When I make a mistake it can't be undone. So when they switched me to their amazing new look, I went to see if they finally included an UNDO button. Nope. So I started a sarcastic response to their questionaire I inadvertently hit the right mouse button and there was the UNDO button on the mouse's menu. Only good for one UNDO mind you. Still don't see why they wouldn't put an UNDO and REDO button.
