Google docs, map, Igoogle etc

Google books can certainly be used for educational purposes - it offers Full view of many books that may be now sadly hard to find in school and public libraries. Google books as well as publising and selling books through its sponsers is now and will increasingly become an archive perhaps. I've used Google books before and like it a lot. Its great to preview books and read books that I can't find in the library. However I'm not keen on reading online. I'll always prefer reading a book ie being able to turn the pages, the feel of the paper and being able to read in bed comfortably - I don't like the idea of bringing my laptop to bed

I saw my house and who has and who hasn't a swimming pool in my area. So enlightening! But really Google maps is great for directions.

I've had a go at Google docs and i was wondering about the security issues - for example if one puts photos, CVs ect.
Anyway i downloaded some documents and that was easy but navigating between all these different google products seems difficult even though i'm trying to always use the same password.
