They have recently been "converting" Google Apps accounts into apparently fully-fledged Google accounts, but guess what... my already-converted Google Apps account won't work with this feature. The single biggest piece that is *still* missing is the Google Profile - G+ requires this in order to work, and guess what part of a "full Google Account" isn't available to Google Apps users? Yes, I do have a normal Google Account as well, but why does Google necessitate this situation? Either a transitioned Google Apps account is a "full Google Account" or it isn't. </rant> Grant. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
