Chromebook Experiment

I've been interested in the Chromebooks ever since they were first announced. At first, I thought the price was too high, but now that it's coming down some, I'm getting interested again. I can see how connectivity might be a problem, but I'm pretty much always on a Wi-Fi network, both at home and at work. I already use an Android phone, Chrome is my default browser on every desktop I use, my personal mail is Gmail, my weblog is Blogger, and I use Google Docs. I suspect that Chrome OS can handle everything I need to do in my personal life, and possibly 90% of what I need to do in my professional life. So I'm going to try an experiment.

Here's the Akers on my grandmother's side:

• Anna Akers (1850-1935), married Hiram Craig Bentley (1844-1899). My great-great grandmother.
• John Valentine Akers (1826-1906), her father. 
• David Daniel Akers (1801-1894), his father.
• Valentine Akers (born 1762), his father.

So far, there's no Akers on my grandfather's side.
