Moreover, given that it's been quite some time since the Windows version

Linux» - I suspect that Google has taken a strategic decision to devote
its resources to its Picnik cloud service instead. That would fit in
with the pattern shown by certain other Google services, like, e g, the
Toolbar, the Firefox version of which is no longer supported (and thus
will not run on more recent versions of FF than 4.0.x). We'll have to
see how long Picasa continues to be supported....
Hmph. So I need to learn to use gimp, pass the results to picasa,
shrink the files and upload them to the picasa website. One more step.
Worse things have happened. New i7 computer with slackware 13.37, but
I kept picasa 3.0 because I just don't want to deal with deb or rpm
files, which generally whine about something useless. Unless picasa 3.8
offers perspective correction, I see no need to go beyond the 3.0 I'm using.
