I've been using this Google cloud system for eight years now through beta testing and it is much more reliable than a PC clone equipped with any form of Microsoft Windows (3.1 through Vista) . Microsoft's last stable products were DOS 5.1 and 6.2. I have always resisted the persistent recurring nightmare that Microsoft sabotages its own products at what Microsoft considers the end of each product revision cycle. Having been with them and watching this go on for over 20 years, cloud computing is much better ! With Google protecting the files I am much happier. With my saddest Microsoft moments coming from backup failures and constantly fearing my next backup may be unrecoverable because Microsoft has yet to provide a reliable system since the late 80's. Microsoft has an impossible task guaranteeing compatibility. The IBM PC guidelines and the infinite interpretive variations of hardware made even simple things like stable modem performance took a decade. Microsoft took a fool's errand and ran with it. Microsoft has done an enormous job, but I think they need to be going quietly,..computers are now inherently profit neutral; they are given away free for a two year phone service contract and sales tax.
Google has built the largest computer on earth and has said that anyone can use it. Free, anytime. Keep your money to promote your survival and that of the planet.
Google has found that it is going to succeed by the Burma Shave method. Just keep placing those little signs at the side of the road, or paint the side of barn at a curve in the road...chew Mailpouch Tobacco...Willy Loman's world 100 years later..

Tubing in Seattle 2010
Tubing
We're open from 9am – 9pm today.
The Summit Tubing Center is a great place to start your winter adventure! Located across from Summit Central, tubing is a fun-filled way to enjoy the winter as a family or as a group. The tow takes you, and your tube, back to the top so you can maximize your fun on the snow. Sold in two hour sessions beginning at 9am, you'll have plenty of time to slide yourself silly!
Group discounts are available and if you purchase your ticket in advance there's no waiting in line.
The Tubing Area is a weekend operation maintaining hours Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Please refer to the rates and hours link below for details.

It's ironic the Seattle Times published this story today with photos of the tubing run.

Ten-year-old Mario Simmons wasn't waiting around for the rope tow to get back up to the top of the inner-tubing park at The Summit at Snoqualmie ski area Friday. Instead, he hoofed it up with his dad after every run.
