If This Is Wrong, Then I Don't Want To Be Right...

Is it wrong to form a strong emotional attachment to a piece of software?

As part of my job, I have to make appointments in cities and towns that I am not familiar with when I go on a business trip. For years I have tried to haul out a map and make sure that my appoints are in some sort of proximity to each other. This was after running around Hong Kong during the first week in September, sweating through two shirts a day to get to appointments that were blocks from each other only to find that my next appointment was back where the first meeting was. D'oh!

So, I am currently planning a trip to Houston in a couple of weeks and decided there has to be a better way. Enter Google Earth. Using the push pin feature, I have been able to plot out all of my appointments on one map and be able to tell where they are and plan accordingly. This is the missing piece to my trip planning and I am so happy I am giddy! Yay for Google Earth!

Now if you will excuse me, the software and I would like to be alone.
