RE: I now am on a Chromebook trying to d/l Libre Office

[Carruth, Rusty]

Or use that chroot-based thingy that lets you run an entire copy of Linux 
underneath the chrome os.  I forget what it’s called, sorry. Chrost? No, there 
you go – crouton.  It worked for me.  Switching between Linux and Chrome is a 
bit weird, but it works, I tried it myself.  (I probably just didn’t find the 
right majik incantation ;-)

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from rolling 
over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.

well if it is like most laptops the mouse is connected to the keyboard. so
if the keyboard goes then so does the mouse.

PS look up crouton. It is your path to Linux on the chromebook.

because it is a browser machine is why I recommended it to my lady. I sure
wish my machine's hardware didn't decide to die. I think it strange that
both the mouse and keyboaed died at the same time.
