A follow on to my previous responses, regarding Google's Picasa for
Linux. My wife has been using M$ Windows recently. I asked her to help
me with some photos, on my box, using Picasa. She had *NO* idea she
was using Picasa on Linux, until I asked her if there were any
differences, between the application she uses on Windows, and the one
on Linux. She thought she was using Picasa on Windows, until I pointed
out that it was running on Linux.
