This entire website - minus, oh say..... I dont know, 400 some odd cruddy old posts - have moved to a more
professional, better quality, and most importantly, snazzier site!

Yes, you're right, the new site features my past greatest posts, without the awful ones, and all new
ones to come!

Come visit or I'll throw you into a vortex of lava for still being on this old site!

Chrome Notebook Update #1

My first notices, Google's sarcasm and humor in every sheet of paper they include.













Click the images to see a better view and to read this well thought safety instructions. Hopefully though, you'll be lucky enough to read it in person.

Next off, I enjoyed reading through the beginner's guide to a CR48. The tech sarcasm continued in the "There is no CAPS lock button" page.


Moving on from there, it was quick to find the few annoyances of the laptop: 
A: The trackpad
B: The boot time (JK)
C: The lack of a delete key

However, I quickly figured out that there is no need for the trackpad buttons at all. To scroll, two finger slide. To click, tap. To right click, two finger tap. 

When I looked into the delete button, It was revealed that you could delete by hitting alt backspace, which is the only annoyance that has yet to be worked around.

I think that is a sufficient amount of debugging for now, so on with the pluses!
I think it's clear what the great features of this computer are so I won't discuss them very thoroughly.
