Okay but let's not exagerate : the thing is available, and it works. I just canceled and try to reinstall, which is a natural thing to do with computers. And now it doesn't show any more. So that goes against the natural logic. And there is no reason it should disappear this way ! It exists on every account (unless you do the uninstall/reinstall thing). It is not as if the feature was gone for everybody. > > > >> Unfortunately, that is how Google seems to work these days. >> >> "Let's create a new (feature, tool, program) !" >> >> "Let's create this new tool that replaces the old one!

Some people change houses every year. Others don't. Some change wifes every year. Other don't. And some change computers and/or computer applications every year. Others don't. There comes a time when some people WANT to change, and that is good for them. While others just want to spend their time and energy on other things. Such as making the house nicer, taking more time with the same wife or just spending less time in front of a computer. Google and the rest can offer change as much as they want. But imposing change is not necessary. Because each change means spending time to adapt. And some of us have other priorities, than learning a new application or new was for this and that (especially knowing that a lot is just show-off or pretends to change your life when it does not). In our case, there is a simple feature that works and there is no logical reason it should not be maintained, even after you uninstall it once !
