   I have played with demo Chromebooks in stores.   
   After a couple times using them as Guest and not seeing all that was   
   available on the Chromebook I created an account with a FAKE name and   
   a Gmail account I never would need again and didn't see anything that   
   excited me, so I forgot about wanting one.   
      
   What I've read so far looks like the Chromebook seems to be a "Cloud"   
   computer that NEEDS a internet connection to a Server where MY Files   
   are stored.   
      
   The files I would create on it wouldn't be kept locally, so I'm   
   UNenthused about trying/buying a Chromebook now.   
      
   If I want to share a File with somebody else, I can do that.   
   If the File is too large to attach to a Email I can make a CD and   
   send it by mail.   
      
   I'm not that cheap - even though my Family tree goes back to a Lady   
   from Scotland who married a Irishman here in the United States Of   
   America.   
      
   Thanks to You and All the Others Who posted Replies to Me about the   
   Chromebook.   
      
   I LOVE BBSing!
