What's missing?

A decent text expansion utility like TEXTEXPANDER for MACOSX.

A decent Client for WORDPRESS DOT COM like MARSEDIT.

A decent clipboard manager.

Sorry, but CHROMEBOX and CHROMEBOOK are not quite there yet imho as replacement for my MACBOOKAIR.

Battery life makes it a good tool

The battery life of the CHROMEBOOK makes it very useful for writing, email, and browsing. It gives hours of use on a single charge.

Interesting use

MINDMANGER has a cloud based component. (Assuming that you've stored your mindmaps there.)

Couldn't sleep. So I worked on a generic problem. (No security information disclosed. Just created a generic plan. I like generics because they really don't contain any great DIKW and certainly no specifics, but they do focus one's thinking.

Anyway, it worked well and cloud print did as well.

Need more cloud enabled tool to make CHROME (OS | BOOK | BOX) useful.

CHROMEBOOK: a finding

I keep looking at extension and rejecting them.

For example, the WordPress extension doesn't allow one to set the time on a blog post. Off to the no zip sorting bin.

For example, BUFFER allows queuing to social media, but not my blogs. I'd like that functionality. Off to the no zip sorting bin.

CHROME (OS | BOOK | BOX) is just not mature enough, with enough extensions, and web services to allow the user to be completely cloud based.

Still need that fat desktop with a big hard disk and sufficient apps of the correct functionality.

Maybe I have to go back to Microsloth? Argh! Or straight to Linux if the apps are there? Argh! Maybe a new Mac$$$? Argh!
