...you'll probably need some fiber supplements.
Yeah, but think of all the leafy greens you're saving...
It really depends what you use a computer for. If you use a computer for web surfing, blogging, reading Facebook etc then you could easily survive using a Chromebook on its own.
To add something substantive to the conversation..I think I could. 99% of what I do is online and I will say publicly through my Google account. A Chromebook is right up my alley, except like anything non-windows will not load Dragonspeak.
I love my C7 Chromebook (now that I've loaded it with Fedora).

Sorry Google, I don't want to give away my right to privacy. My data stays on my harddrive (or on my ssd in this case).

I doubt a Chromebook will float, without a boat underneath it.
That's in September, tc.

When has that argument ever worked?
There's a first time for everything, Bob.

Given enough rum, pretty much any argument will work.
Rum... too bad I work for Puritans.

Aha! That's the real purpose behind the barge that Google's moving from San Francisco to Stockton. It's for keeping their Chromebook franchise afloat!
