   August, I got interested in reading that link about the Chrome Browser being   
   attacked since that program is on the main screen of this phone.   
      
   Didn't know that Chrome was a Browser, I thought it was a Operating System such   
   as DOS or Windows or Linux.   
   I looked at Chrome a bit trying to see if there was a Word Processor or   
   Spreadsheet available for my use.   
   Never found what I looked for though.   
      
   Thanks again for posting the link.
