Regarding the Google Map Search gadget, I don't know if was just me, but once I added that to my personalized Home Page it would not load. I had to stop the loading of the page almost as soon as it started - before it loaded the Map Search item - so that I could delete it. As soon as it loaded the Map Search it would go blank.
Once I deleted the Map Search all was fine.
Did anyone else have an issue with this?

Don't understand why Google reasoning behind a online office suite. I don't understand the usefulness of such a application. Microsoft Office is widespread enough to create/edit office docs wherever you go.
