August,              Back a Year and a Half ago after I read and answered a message       From You, To Me in the other Windows Echo I forgot about Your       message in "THIS" Echo. back then.              I just wanted to say "Thank You" for the information about my wanting       to learn about how to get a Chromebook type emulator on XP to play       with CHROME OS.              One ROUNDTUIT completed in 1 1/2 Years. (finally)              Thanks Again for the help.       Which proves that I'm not too far gone to be helped.              73 (Best Regards) de (From) Ed W9ODR dit dit.                      AA> @MSGID: <5E7EBE19.2040.windowsb@capitolcityonline.net>        AA> @REPLY: <5E7C1B93.2033.windowsb@capitolcityonline.net>        AA> Hi Ed..               AA> On 3/26/2020 11:53 AM, I wrote..               AA>> https://getchrome.eu/download               AA>> "Cr OS Linux (pronounced like Cros Linux) is the free OS        AA>> built around the revolutionary Chromium browser - a        AA>> foundation for Google Chrome.
