[ExI] chromebook 1st report

[William Flynn Wallace]

Bought an Acer Chromebook 15 - 15.6" screen, ssd

It's not quite my 17" Toshiba laptop but it's sufficient - and very bright.

It's hot - really fast.  Boots in 7 seconds and turns off about the same.
Web pages fast - maybe one second.

I do miss my lighted keyboard, though typing on this is just fine.

$250 - makes me think of the many thousands I paid for the first Pentium,
(never mind my PCjr) my Apple Powerbook ($4200 -  died after the warranty
died).

I do miss some of my Firefox addons like tree style tab but I have yet to
really explore addons for this one.

Plugged in the Logitech usb and my rollerball worked right away.

Several keys missing:  delete, page up and down, function keys, but most
replaceable by shortcuts using alt or ctrl

So far, so good, or maybe a lot better than good.
