This week's blogpost: Changes to Google photos

i use computers.  i don't like them.

  That's something i might put in a wordart frame.  But not until i figure out what to do about the Google photo situation.

   i won't be posting photos for awhile.  It seems that Google photos will no longer be a free service. Ok, the cutoff is over six months away, but that's not long to find and move pictures.

... it's not just photos and videos here. All those Gmail emails with attachments that you forgot to delete also count, as does anything else you do on Google. (Our friends at Google tell me that my Gmail alone counts for 40 GBs of online storage.

  i have never consciously used Google photos, but they do have a tendency to mix their services up, so i've no idea how many will be affected.  Tons of undeleted emails.  And photos with texts.

  Wikipedia seems to have a good article on Google photos (ooh, and this raises the question, what's happening / has happened to my Picasa photos, another service that i didn't consciously use, but seems to have a lot of blog pics on it.).

  This one seems to have a lot of useful info:

  Any one with suggestions, ideas, i'd love to hear them.
