Noticed this at the top of my Google Docs page:

Google Docs will soon be upgraded to Google Drive.
Google Drive will be the new home for your files.

When I clicked on the link, I found this section on the page:

Google Drive is available for:

PC and Mac
Chrome OS
iPhone and iPad
Android devices

Does that mean I can no longer use Google Docs with Ubuntu?

Regards,

You can still use Google Docs via a web browser, it's just called
Google Drive now. There is no Linux _desktop_ client for Drive, though
some non-Google projects are available:

Saw you there, I didn't introduce myself as I recognised your name but
couldn't place you - duh.

I use your script for cleaning up all the most current kernel regularly
- THANKS

Define "PC" (I hate that terminology, it is overly vague).

Short answer: you'll still be able to use Google Drive with any modern
browser. I'm currently on my Debian (Wheezy) laptop with Firefox
(Nightly) and GDrive is just fine (other than it being GDrive, of
course).
