I've since googled (I think that verb is now in common usage) and as 
google knows all,I now understand what is happening to it. I understand 
that it will continue to work on the desktop but will never be 
integrated into the "cloud" or do on-line chats or the myriad of other 
such things - for me, that is ideal (I neither tweet, nor have a 
Facebook account, and long may it be so).
