I will grant that Picasa is a very nice image indexing/categorizing program. It even does some mild form of editing. It’s particularly good at organizing pictures for folks that have a hard time keeping these things straight. So, I installed the first version and upgraded to the second version. Some say that it is a pretty blatant rip off of Apple’s iPhoto software but, this was something that was pretty badly needed on the Windows platform.
While I had a mild interest in it, mostly in case someone asked me a question about it, I would be able to help. Once I was familliar enough with it, I uninstalled it. However, after the uninstall, it left behind 543 different instances of “picasa.ini” all over my computer. Now, it was a relatively simple matter to delete these from my computer but, I really shouldn’t have to. That’s just sloppy programming, in my opinion.
Then I got to looking around google for them, there’s a whole lot of them on open webservers. In fact, if you click on some of those results and backspace over the “picasa.ini” you’ll find quite a few pictures out there, browse to your hearts content. If you’re bored enough.
