Hey Nancy!

 NB> I've never done anything with a Chromebook...

Just as well methinks.  Offhand I am guessing the laptop you already use is 
probably WAY better given your usage for such things.  As for me the keyboard 
is the main deal breaker but the installed OS leaves MUCH to be desired.

 NB> I know quite a few that are using linux for various things

It is the best thing going, although I'd have to admit most of the 
distributions have wandered far afield from what attracted me to linux way back 
when and are reminisant of - dare I say it? - Windows.  :::shudder:::

 NB> You've kept yourself busy there...

Yes I have but have mellowed out in my old age and have gotten (too?) 
comfortable enjoying the fruits of past labours.

Life is good,
Maurice
