I like how Google distributes Android, but then shuns Ubuntu for a native sketchup support and ## doesn't even provide a .deb WINElib built version of Sketchup ## for Ubuntu like they did for Google Earth.  I find it utterly hypocritical.

To be clear, I love Gmail, I love Maps, I'm a complete and total Android fanatic, I shudder when I see people using Bing instead of Google, I'm basically a complete and total Google fanboi, I'll admit it.  I even have an Orkut. Everyone who really knows me knows I love Google and everything about them.      ...Except Sketchup.

I remember when I first found sketchup, how excited I was..  Modeled my bedroom, my house, my furniture, all kinds of things... uploaded them all to the 3d warehouse.  I took it all down some years ago.  I hope some day I'll have reason to put it back up and get modelling again.  I know software is a really silly thing to get bent out of shape over, I mean, it's really just a bunch of 1's and 0's, but somehow I do feel hurt, even after all these years.
