EV> Thanks for telling me about the Apps button on the Chromebook.
EV> I'll look for that next time I play with one in a store.
I'm talking about the apps button in Chrome. On your PC. It's there on the
chromebooks too but a good test as to whether it would be good for you is if
you can just use Chrome on your PC and nothing else.
EV> Can ChromeOS run in a virtualbox on a XP pc?
It's not Host OS dependent afaik.
EV> I sure wouldn't want to be using the Internet for personal stuff I would
EV> use a Spreadsheet for.
You need to stick with a PC based laptop then most likely. I will need to
break mine out and disconnect the wifi to see if it will even let you log in
without a connection. Will try to get time tomorrow.
