Well, Bev, since one good turn (I'm going to remember that excuse about an immunity-enhancement centre !), here's what a friend does to log in to the particular Gmail account she desires without logging out and loggin in : she has several different browsers installed on her machine, with a different Gmail account set as home page in each one. When she wants to load that account, she simply launches the corresponding browser.... Note that Google does allow opening an ordinary garden variety Gmail account, with address of the type «username @ gmail.com», and a Google Apps mail account, with address of the type «username @ yourdomain.com», in different tabs on the same browser ; it's multiple gmail accounts that it doesn't permit.... Henri PS : As regards conspiracy theories, I hold with those who see Google abandoning Picasa and concentrating its efforts on Picnic. It's been quite some time since an update to Picasa 3.8 was released, and I note that I've never received the promised reply from Brian Rose on problems downloading Picasa Web Albums sent me by others to my Linux box as discussed on *this thread*<https://groups.google.com/forum/#%21topic/google-labs-picasa-for-linux/kosxoPNkSWM> .... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google-Labs-Picasa-for-Linux" group.
